Jeff Flaherty kicks off the first show on the newly expanded WLEA and WCKR coverage in the Southern Tier, walking new listeners through what Wise Home Energy actually does and why the blower door test is the one measurement most contractors skip. He tells the farmer's horse story to explain why the election results, whatever they mean for energy policy, probably matter less than people think for homeowners who need their attic fixed anyway. He also walks through a Virginia customer who spent two months over-designing a heat pump for his mother-in-law's Buffalo house until they ended up back at Jeff's original proposal, a Texas lawsuit where the country's biggest homebuilder settled after a million-dollar home made a family sick from mold in the ductwork, and why one superintendent overseeing 21 new builds at once is how you get 47 HVAC service calls before someone finally calls a lawyer. Plus New York's regional clean energy hubs and why they're worth a call if you're not ready to talk to a contractor yet.
