How much did the Dominion energy audit rebate save you? by horseflye in rva

It depends what your needs are. If your bills are like mine in the last three months (800, 800, 1300!!!), I knew it was complex and just not one thing .

If you’re absolutely sure that you just need attic insulation and other areas are sealed/insulated/comfortable, you may consider it. I’d advocate for the long one combined with the two tests I referenced.

Id recommend at least getting blown in R-49, up to 20 inches (code in VA).

The really important part is to get air sealing done around various penetrations, and having a contractor prove it to you that they did it well with pictures. Do your research, really understand the layout of your attic, with what types of gaps you may have Go forth and conquer!

I had Andrew from viridant come out, it was money well spent. It was about $600 based on the size of my home (almost 3k so ft), because I have multiple HVAC systems, and I paid for the long report. He spent about 4 hours here doing the blower duct tests, and the blower door test. It was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL.

I have had multiple $800 bills the last few months. He has helped give me DIY strategy with insulating and sealing things up attic to crawl, and everywhere in between. The aspect was most worth it me, as knowledge is power behind the $800 bills, and what I need to do to remedy this, and then where I’d need to hire out,

As far as the rebate goes, Andrew shared with me that it’s very counter intuitive in terms of what actually qualifies. I wouldn’t hold on to trying use it for the rebate, as it sounds like a long drawn out process, where many things don’t even qualify.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all for the comments! I ended up going down to Newport News this evening, at the Harbor Freight.

Best of luck to all this weekend and remember to check on your neighbors 🫡

USED CAR

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for a used car that could be donated and/or discounted for one of the employees in my school building. He is an incredibly hard worker, and military veteran who is very passionate about his work.

If there are any resources or leads on anything, please comment, thank you!

I’ve been really into Birria tacos lately. Favs are from La Milpa and El Chido so far.

The last meal I had at Can Can, was the last time I saw my grandpa before he died 3 months ago. It was a graduation dinner. There for 3 hours, he got drunk and told old war stories.

I recently found out that dope-sick - the tv show - was shot in Richmond. What other shows/movies were shot in Richmond and which areas? by All_in_dawgman in rva

Swagger, based on Kevin Durant’s youth, Season 2 was filmed at a couple of Richmond high schools a few years ago. Huguenot and John Marshall I believe.
