It’s time for a new Chat to Win! This week’s Chat to Win is sponsored by HOUSH—The Home Energy Experts.  HOUSH–The Home Energy Experts is a third-generation family business built on integrity. When you choose HOUSH, you get a certified Energy Auditor – someone who has the knowledge to diagnose the root cause of energy problems in your home and provide solutions to fix it right the first time.

Have you thought about your home’s energy efficiency lately? With the current HOUSH HalfPriceCincy deal, you can get a super low-priced Home Energy Audit from HOUSH.

During your audit, a HOUSH Expert will come to your home and help you analyze utility bills, check the insulation levels of your home, check for gas leaks, evaluate mechanical equipment for efficiency, evaluate your home for air leakage, check your home for visual moisture issues, check duct work and perform carbon monoxide and flue draft testing. You’ll receive a customized report of all test results and a priority solution list that tells you not only what needs repaired but how much money you’ll save when you do.

I had HOUSH out to my house last week to perform an energy audit on my own home. We’d been talking about it for a while, and you know how I love to save money, so I was excited to see what they could find that would help us save money in the long run. You guys know that I’ve been trying to go more “green” over the past six months, so I was looking for ways that we could improve both our energy usage and lower our bills at the same time. I was concerned about our windows and a few other things. Jason, our HOUSH expert, spent a few hours climbing through the nooks and crannies of my house, testing all kinds of things I’d never thought to check. He was wonderful at helping me understand what really was an issue and what wasn’t. He even found a few spots where some very small gaps in windows and doors were letting in all kinds of cold air—things that were easily fixed right then and there. I learned that while our windows could be better, our biggest issue was insulation—through the aging of the house our insulation had compacted and just wasn’t sufficient any more. By making a few small adjustments in our home, we can conserve energy and lower our bills every month pretty significantly!
