I'm looking for contractors who can perform an energy audit on my 1-story house. PGE says they no longer offer this service, nor do they provide referrals. I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

Sears offers an energy audit for $275. Not sure if they service Campbell though.

Flex Your Power has a Do-it-yourself Energy Audit guide too.

I thought that PG&E offered this service as well.

I believe PG&E still performs eneryg-efficiency audits for businesses, churches, etc., but no longer for private residences.

The non -profit Acterra runs the Green @ Home program at least though June in Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Redwood City. It is a FREE and basic energy efficiency audit, funded with grant money. Two trained volunteers go over the energy bill with the resident and install such upgrades as retractable clothes lines, faucet aerators, and low flow showerheads. They also measure the electricity draw of some appliances, install 3 free compact fluorescents, and even check your cars' tires, as desired. More info: www.acterra.org/greenathome To schedule a 2.5 hour appointment: 650.962.9876 x350 or greenathome@...

Have you heard about Green Up in Sunnyvale? They seem to be pretty comprehensive. Take a look at some of their pictures. They found a mouse/rodent infestation in somebody's ducts!!! Gross!

Planet Orange on Bascom Avenue I think does energy efficiency reports to help you figure out what you can do to make your house "greener". Good luck with that.

Acterra, a local environmental group, also does home energy-efficiency audits. Theirs are free, performed by a pair of trained volunteers. Basic, but a good start. To either sign-up for a free basic home energy-efficiency audit or to sign-up for training so that you can help others reduce their energy bills, go to: http://www.acterra.org/programs/greenathome/index.html

http://ecoproach.com/ has been featured on KRON4 news and a few other TV shows. They look like they know what they're doing and their FAQ is really helpful. Worth a look.
