This year in good old Oregon, it has been FREEZING! I’m sure most of the U.S. can agree with me on that since the weather has been unusually crazy this Winter. Our home lives on the edge of the gorge, so we experience winds of up to 60 MPH quite often, so the wind chill is worse than anything else really. But in top of that, we actually just got some more snow today! And it seems that no matter how much I crank up the heat, I am still shivering with all of the small drafts we have coming from random windows and doors in our house. I would typically shrug it off and put on another sweater, but since we have recently welcomed a newborn into our home, that is simply not an option.
Since nobody has the time to sit by each individual window and door in their house and wait for a breeze to see which one the culprit is, I knew we had to get to the source of the problem quickly. But, did you know that the typical energy efficiency audit costs between $300 and $500?!? Not only is that expensive, but the contractor will also come during typical business hours, the middle of a single day, and not when it is the best time to figure out where our problems lie. When in reality they will usually only be able to tell if you have problems at night or on a colder day. Thankfully, we came across BlindSpotz which is a completely new way to think about home efficiency testing. You do it yourself, the cost is low, and the results are simple and obvious.
BlindSpotz are removable home sensors that detect cold spots around your house. All you have to do to activate it is rub the sensor, stick it to an area in your house such as a door, wall, or near a window, and let it do it’s job for about 48 hours. The sensor will start to turn blue as the temperature drops below 65 degrees. If you have any sensors in your home that drop below 55 degrees, you are then going to take a picture of the sensor and send it to FixTheCold@BlindSpotz.com and they will send you information on solutions and a retailer coupon. And that’s it! Nobody coming into your home for a pricey “inspection” and then an even more expensive quote for a fix.
