"Another winter had gone by with me paying astronomical energy bills and still being cold so I was wondering what could be done to a 27 year old 2x4 stick-built house to at least keep warm at that cost.  A postcard in the mail introduced the Home Free Nevada energy upgrade incentive program and Energy Masters was listed as a provider on the Home Free Nevada website.  They seemed to be a locally owned, well established company with a very informative website.
     In May Mary Winston came out and did the blower door test, crawled around the attic & crawlspace taking pictures and showing me many instances of air leaking in or out of the living space.  The blower door test showed the house to not be terribly leaky but with definite room for improvement.  I told Mary of my intention to replace the worn out cloudy old aluminum windows and she said unless windows are single-pane or especially leaky they don't recommend replacing them due to relatively little bang for your buck.  The appliances were checked out too.   She also took a years' energy bills with her.   About a week later she brought them back with the report and two projected savings sheets, one for just the insulation upgrades and one adding a furnace upgrade because the furnace was an old 70% efficient model so it was recommended I consider replacing it.   The quote was $4330 to perform all the insulation upgrades and the rebate would be $1000 back.  She also advised me that the program might be increasing the rebate in a few months and she would keep me apprised if that happened.   In August she let me know the rebate was increased to $2000 and I made an appointment for October. 
     Luis and Ismael came to do the upgrades and the first day was sealing the living space and heating ducts.   The next morning the furnace didn't kick on as it had the previous two mornings.  Next was wrapping the ducts and installing the subfloor insulation batts and since the only crawlspace access was in a master bedroom closet they made numerous trips through the house with all this material.  The mess was suprisingly minimal requiring just a normal vacuuming and dusting.  The furnace return air duct was replaced due to it deteriorating and collapsing.  This had been in Mary's report but had not been in the original quote because a relative of mine who is an HVAC contractor would be replacing the furnace and I thought the duct would be done by him.  He advised they replace it because it would be buried in insulation when they were done.  The fourth / last day they finished up with the attic insulation.  They warned me it was a very dusty procedure and because the access was in the garage and the machine would be just outside the garage door, they recommended I move the car out and away.  It was pretty dusty so I was glad  for the warning.  They are a couple of very nice and considerate guys, even offering to fix a couple of completely unrelated things at no charge. 
     Mary did another blower door test at the end, revealing that the house was now so tight she was required to recommend use of an air exchange system.  She said she'd bring the bill by the next day.  The next day she called to let me know she was coming and that my rebate had been increased to $3000!  When I asked how long I should expect to wait for the rebate she said it comes right off the bill instantly!  That paid for a big chunk of the new furnace.
     Since the weather has been so mild for this time of year I can't give all the credit for the furnace hardly running to the insulation upgrades but I have noticed other things.  1) Usually once the swamp cooler is shut down the humidifier has to be kept running round the clock on medium-high just to keep the relative humidity around 30% but now it can run on low sporadically and stays above 40%.  2) Except in summer I almost always have run a space heater in the bathroom when I shower because it seemed drafty and I'd always get cold but I have only used it once since Energy Masters finished.  3) It's much quieter.  The windows were replaced in July but it's noticeably quieter since Mary's team was here.
Many improvements were made to the house this summer but I believe the upgrades done by Energy Masters to be the most worthwhile and will certainly save me money.  The contractor who did most everything else on the house is my brother and he looked over their quote and said it was a good price even at the full $4330.  If you think your house is wasting energy call Mary - you can't go wrong.
