Energy Audit Day

Yesterday was Energy Audit Day! It was kind of a bust.

I got some free LED light bulbs, a power strip, and a programmable thermostat for my time.
I was hoping for rebates to help with the very small pretty old fridge and the very old range.
Neither item qualified for anything.
I did qualify for a rebate on updating the furnace that is only a few years old, and the hot water tank that only about a year old, though! It all boiled down to how many kilowatt hours things use. Since small fridge is small; it uses about the same hours as a new normal size fridge, so they won't help me replace it. It's "efficient" because of it's size, not it's age. They don't even care about ranges, apparently. The furnace and hot water tank incentives are to jump to more efficient devices - heat pumps and the like.
Energy Guy Nick tested the furnace for CO2 and carbon monoxide, and it was well in the safety ranges. I did confirm that there is 0 insulation in the walls, and only about 6" of insulation in the roof. MassSave likes to see about 12". The cost to me after they do it was quite tolerable, and something I'm likely to do. They also wanted to see insulation on the rim joists, but with all the sill issues, that's not something I'm going to do.
What Nick did find that needs to be dealt with quite soon is mold in the attic. This didn't turn up on my home inspection, (there was staining, but it wasn't active then). MassSave won't put in insulation until it's cleaned up. This was pretty unexpected. Two quotes are being collected next Wednesday. I have no idea how much something like this is going to cost.
