Q. Has anyone ever hired someone to do a home energy audit where they connect a blower on your door and test your house for leaks? Was it worth it? Did you notice much change in your utility bills after doing it and having the leaks fixed?
A. yes and no.
What home energy saving scams have you found?
Q. open4energy has published a list of home energy scams to help energy conscientious home owners avoid being taken advantage of. They range from down loadable plans to build a magnetic generator, a solar panel or a windmill, to energy saving plug in gadgets, to full blown sales promotions for kvar power factor correction units which have negligible savings capabilities for even the biggest homes.
Each one we find is another community we can protect!

A. The most common website I encounter is DIY solar panels. The claim is that "for under 200 dollars you too can build your own solar panel and save thousands" I do not dispute the validity of that claim. I do take issue with what they don't say. There are some building code violations to say the least. I have posted a blog on this very issue, and will continue to do so on a weekly basis. It is my goal to bring clarity to the cyber solar world. Check out my post "To build or not to build that is the question" at http://www.solarmandan.com.
P.S. Maybe we could post links to each other"s sites.

A. HERS Raters are trained in energy audits
CRESNET is the authority in Canada They have a list of HERS Raters
I would want one that has the following equipment.
Blower Door checks the leakage on your home
Duct Blaster checks the leakage of your ducting system.
IR Camera finds areas of heat loss, moisture, and missing insulation
I would want to know the fee over the phone
