As a Christmas gift this year my Mom is getting us a home energy audit.

"A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your
home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your
home more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems that may,
when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During
the audit, you can pinpoint where your house is losing energy. Audits
also determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling
systems. An audit may also show you ways to conserve hot water and
electricity."

The company in Maryland we are using is called Glory Energy Solutions. They come highly recommend. I will have a full recap of our experience, what we have learned, what we need to do, once the audit is complete.

I haven't been this excited about a Christmas gift from Mom since my Alf doll. 😉
