'This Efficient House' crews completed 51 projects in the last three months of 2010. The majority of these were in the Fort Collins area, as this program has the highest conversion rate from home energy audit to improvement. Thanks to all the folks who signed up for work last year. We are thankful for all the wonderful feedback. What we are hearing time and time again are things like, "finally, after 20 years of living in this house, it's warm" and "your crews were very friendly and knowledgeable" and "we want to thank you for your attention to detail and thorough clean up". My personal favorite was from customers of ours who live in a historic farm house that said, "our propane bill has gone from $600 a month to just over $200".
It looks like we are saving our customers about 200 therms per heating season which corresponds to a reduction in green house gas emissions of roughly one ton per year. We are proud of this accomplishment. I guess a warm and cozy house doesn't hurt either.
I just obtained a Kill-a-watt meter. When my fridge is "running," it uses about 209 watts. This is a small fridge at about 5'. Is this a large energy suck, or about par?
