Jeff Flaherty opens with two emails that landed before most people are awake: a new homeowner with a dead furnace and no money, and another paying $500 a month in energy bills four months into a house he just bought. Both cases trace back to the same problem — nobody looked at the equipment before signing the papers. From there Jeff covers three drive-by energy audits that never included a blower door test, a heat pump installed without rebates or a load calculation, and why 90% of the furnaces Jeff hears about on cold calls are probably the wrong size. He also talks through New York's retreat from the all-electric mandate, why choice matters more than policy, and what to do when your furnace filter is so clogged it can't breathe. Jeff's operations manager Eric also stops by to preview a new website overhaul built around transparent pricing and homeowner education.
