Nothing’s as pleasant as fishing off a dock as the sun slowly passes overhead and you watch the twitch of the line and the ripples on the water to see if you’ll be eating trout tonight or In-N-Out. Unfortunately, that’s not the kind of water-watching we’re going to be talking about
Our first post this month was about understanding your water bill, and now it’s time to do the same thing for your electricity bill. As you’ve probably seen on your bill, your utility company in Sacramento County sends you a huge amount of information every month, but it’s not always
“Didn’t you guys just talk about insulation?” you might ask. And we did — but attic insulation, specifically. But what about the floor, should you be insulating that? And what kind of insulation works best for your home? Is there a timeline for when you should reinsulate your home? These are
If I told you that your brand-new HVAC, sealed ducts, and double-paned windows were worthless, how would you feel? Probably a little defensive. After all, how could that be true? We’ve talked again and again about the value of each of those things in this very blog. How could they

Chances are, if you’re a regular reader here, you’ve heard us talk about double-paned window replacement: taking old single-paned windows out and replacing them with top-of-the-line double-paned windows. You’ll also know that the benefits of double-paned window are many: double-paned windows are great insulators, which means you lose less hot
Last summer we replaced an air conditioner in July that had given up the ghost. It was only five years old, but the owner had never had it serviced and only infrequently replaced the air filters himself. Then, during the hottest week of the summer so far, the system overheated
