April 2023 - Smart Thermostats, Six National Awards, and How the Blower Door Actually Works
WYSL/ Wise Home Energy Show
Jeff Flaherty opens with the RG&E and NYSEG smart thermostat program, clears up what it actually does, and explains why it's purely voluntary with a small payment for participation. He also covers why setback thermostats don't save as much as people think, why air source heat pumps should run on cruise control rather than cycling on and off, and what a blower door reading actually tells you when you divide it by 10. Plus Wise Home Energy's sixth consecutive national Energy Star Contractor of the Year award, why Jeff won't hire experienced diagnosticians from other companies without serious retraining, and how the company achieves 47 to 53% blower door reductions when the industry average is closer to 10 to 20%.
