January 2009 oil usage: 261 Gallons.
January 2010 oil usage: 94.5 Gallons.
I've been keeping detailed records of our power usage since we moved into the house. No other usage factors have changed - our thermostat is still set the same. Thus, these figures can only be related to your energy updates. Since you guys insulated the basement and attic, we've saved $703.04 in fuel oil, $60.19 in propane use, and $76.84 in electricity. That's $840.07 in six months.
Many thanks.

Ice dams are a sign of a sick house. They are caused by heat loss through lack of adequate insulation, uncontrolled air leakage, or a combination of both.

Before our retrofit: This home had high fuel bills and severe ice dams that would not let the homeowners even enter their front door.
After our retrofit: Air leakage was controlled using rigid insulation and 2 part foam and the slopes were well insulated with dense packed cellulose by our qualified crew. No more ice dams!
If you have ice dams, large or small, give Penobscot Home Performance a call and let us solve this all too common problem.
