John Doe wants my part of the work scope proposal included in the audit report to be broken out and summed up so he can see the blocks of money that the various parts of this energy efficiency project require and prorate them in terms of loading order and importance. The first parts - air sealing and insulation - add up to $7500, a State or AOSmith condensing water heater with direct vent through the roof is $4300 and the full HVAC system with all new balanced ducts, 2.5 ton AC instead of the old existing 5 ton,etc., is just under $10K. So we're over $20K without even touching the lighting or washer/dryer moving to the garage, nor any crawlspace remediation, which it *really* needs. Grand total will approach $30K if all measures are addressed.
The modeled improvement in EnergyPro is 53%, which qualifies for an Energy Upgrade California rebate of $3500 but it's still a chunk of change. It will, however, - and I keep coming back to this with them - greatly increase their indoor comfort and remove the vast majority of their indoor air quality issues: combustion byproducts from the HVAC closet, moisture and smells from the washer/dryer, crawlspace air drawn in through the floor, and more.
I hope they go for all of it, partly for the work that my company gets out of it, but more so because of how much better their home will function when they're done.
