Energy audit bait and switch
My home energy audit on Friday was very, very
disappointing.
I started very excited, and ordered a basic energy audit from www.sre3.com, a Gridpoint company. The site advertised a 41 point visual inspection of my home.
Come to find out I basically paid $149 for a salesman to come try and sell me a $950 solar attic fan and $1500 of insulation. When he arrived, he didn't even know which energy audit I ordered, nor did he have checklist.
He didn't even mention the lighting (I guess he doesn't sell light CFLs), nor did he check the weatherstripping until I asked. And I don't even think he took notes, let alone a written inspection report. He did promise me a quote on Monday though :(. . My wife says it serves me right for ordering an energy audit from a contracting firm.
I will contact the firm after getting the quote and see what response I get.
