Doozy of a find on an energy audit Most of the home energy audits that Brent Clinton, York Electric Cooperative's Key Accounts Representative, does for members focus on "the basics," such as tight-sealing doors and windows, left, and proper insulation. On a recent audit, however, Clinton went to check the insulation under the house and found an iced-over heat pump, which the member had not noticed. "The auxiliary heat strips were providing all of her home's heat," he notes. "That meant some pretty high bills!" Clinton advised her to call an HVAC specialist. The main problem? An unplugged defrost switch.
