Energy Auditor
I was recently contacted by a nice woman named Carol. She wanted to do an energy retrofit on her home however didn’t know where to start.
Some general advice for anyone who is in the same boat:
The first step you should do is have your home go through an “energy audit” where the verifier will go through the energy systems in your home and look over the insulation, windows, etc. I suggest you ask to have the infrared camera used and the blower door / duct performance tests done – if the verifier finds that necessary for your situation.
A personal friend and colleague is Tom Balderston with Conservation Services Group. He should be able to help you personally or get you in touch with one of his colleagues.

I definitely suggest you take a peak at CSG’s website. They have some excellent consumer info, including rebate items.
After you receive a final report from CSG, you are able to contact trade contractors for the repair work. I strongly suggest you receive a minimum of three bids for any work you need to have done, as pricing is very subjective right now and a lot of trade contractors are hungry for work. If you need any referrals, please let me know.
