[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An energy audit would address your concerns and would give you a gameplan for what to do next regarding insulation and HVAC. This is exactly what these guys do -- they look at hot and cold spots and where/why they are happening. They also look at general air leakage -- the more leakage you have, the less benefit you are getting from your HVAC. I had an audit and it was well worth it ($400). I used Home Energy Detective in Manassas but they go all over. I also have a bedroom over a garage and they recommended reinsulating the garage ceiling which it needed. They also sealed my ducts with Aeroseal (I had no idea what duct sealing was) and [b]they found a 8"x12" hole in my duct work that had been there since construction[/b]. It was behind drywall and I never would have known it was there. They sealed that up and the house has improved in its leakage. [/quote] How on earth did they find this? [/quote]
