After comparing the energy audit results and recommendations of three different contractors in 2006, I chose one of the companies to complete the majority of work that needed to be done to make my home more energy efficient. (Other contractors completed smaller jobs.) The main contractor initiated the paperwork necessary for me to receive not only a $6,000 Energy Star grant, but also a 4% low interest loan through NYSERDA. Here is a list of the work done:
1. Replaced 1950’s era gas furnace with new high efficiency model
2. Replaced a nearly 20 year old refrigerator with an Energy Star model
3. Replaced a 1970’s era (avocado anyone?) washer with Energy Star model
4. Replaced 4 ten+ year old low-quality vinyl windows with Energy Star windows (remainder of windows already replaced with triple-pane vinyl windows)
5. Replaced 4 single pane basement windows with glass block windows
6. Added Air Krete ® http://www.airkrete.com/ insulation in all exterior walls
7. Added foam insulation to all rim joists, and under house wing over garage
8. Replaced rear and side exterior doors (front door already replaced)
9. Finished installation of Hunter Cool-Vent TM panels on roof over vaulted ceilings

I now have a year’s worth of data on the resulting energy savings, from my local utility’s website showing my home's energy use over the past two years.
· My gas usage in therms decreased by 25%
· My electricity use in kWh decreased by 44%
· My electricity use in kWh decreased by 44%
