Reply #6: I had one of those energy audits last weekend

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

For $75 they checked my insulation and found where the air leaks were in my house and sealed them up. They installed what looks like a whole house fan in my front door and measured the amount of air that they sucked thru it. They were surprised that my old house (circa 1840) was not leaking more but after their work they did see an improvement.

They installed door sweeps, CFL light bulbs, shower and faucet aerators, sealed up all the pipe entry holesm weatherstripped a couple of doors and all of my upstairs windows (which need replacing).


We'll see what the utility bills look like next month.
