Ever wonder where our country's energy comes from and goes to? This fascinating map from the Lawrence Livermore Labratory shows in simple graphic terms where we generate energy and how much of it goes to various sectors. One of the fascinating aspects of this is everything you see in gray--"Rejected Energy." What this really means is waste. Particularly in electricity, as much as 2/3 of all the energy created is lost during transmission and via other means before it actually does any work. All the more reason to generate your electricity right at home on your roof. 

Testimonials

    Mike with Inspect It Right Home Inspections is personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. We started with a pre-purchase inspection (which was very thorough) and ended with a home energy audit. It was amazing to be able to see exactly where the energy inefficiencies were in our home. Mike followed up the inspections by providing detailed reports, a variety of resources and realistic recommendations to make improvements. He also identified the Focus On Energy savings/rebates that we could use to offset some of the costs of making various improvements. I HIGHLY recommend Inspect It Right Home Inspections for anyone who is considering the purchase of a home or who is interested in making their home more energy efficient.
