First step: Energy Testing
While we at Square One are really into green building, most folks I talk to live in an older home with outrageous power bills. When I talk to those folks, they don't have any concept of how to fix things. All they've heard is that their windows might need replacing, or their old HVAC needs replacing with a newer, more efficient unit. It would be a shame to spend that kind of money on a solution that may not work. Especially if the fix is in repair of a much less expensive area. How are folks going to find out what solution is going to fix their home? By doing actual physical testing on their residence. The same on site testing that we do on the new "green" homes being built today. With tools like blower door units and specialized computer programs, energy raters can identify problems in existing homes too. They can tell where the actual leaks in your home are, whether in the shell, or in existing duct work. That's awesome. But you need one more thing, and that's a team to do the actual fixing of the problems that you may have. A team trained in the latest air seal techniques and how to do them properly. That's why Energy Saver's was formed, to combine the science of testing with the actual implementation of the the correct solution for your home. Check them out today at http://www.ensavr.com/ and see if they can help you lower your power bill today!
