We are in the initial stages of having our home retrofitted and shored up to use less energy and to feel more comfortable in the hot or cold weather. H found out about this local company, Home Performance Matters and we had them come search every inch of the house maybe about a month ago. From top to bottom, it felt as though our home was having a colonoscopy. A few weeks ago they came by with a report of what they found (lots of leaks to the outside, as we expected, leaks in the ductwork, which we hadn't thought about). This morning they came by to take more measurements of exactly what it will take to redo ductwork, close gaps, etc, and to sign papers to get the ball rolling on energy rebates from the utilities (which they take care of for us). I think the next thing will be to have a report saying just what it is they plan to do and how much it will cost.
I look forward to being warmer in this old house next winter and not paying more money for it!
