A Cozy Mystic Home with Rising Energy Bills
A Mystic, CT homeowner recently contacted us for a home energy assessment. The customer owns a small single-family home in Mystic, Connecticut — just 748 square feet of living space — but her electric bills were higher than expected. With electric heating and hot water, every bit of efficiency mattered.
Looking to make her home more comfortable and affordable to run, Marie scheduled a Home Energy Solutions assessment through Dynamic Building.
The Visit
Our certified technician, Eben Discuillo, completed a full home energy assessment that included diagnostic testing, a blower door test, and same-day weatherization improvements.
During the visit, our team performed blower door–guided air sealing, sealing up leaks and drafts that wasted heating and cooling energy year-round.
The Results
Before the visit, the homeowner’s annual energy costs were estimated at $3,410. After our air sealing improvements, that number dropped to about $3,060, saving her $350 per year immediately — without any major renovations.
And that’s just the beginning. Based on our recommendations, the homeowner could save up to $942 a year with additional upgrades like:
Installing a heat pump water heater
Replacing older models with ENERGY STAR® appliances
With these upgrades, she would qualify for up to $2,892 in rebates through Energize Connecticut — and see a full payback in just three years.
Affordable Financing Options
To make the upgrades even more budget-friendly, we reviewed available energy efficiency financing programs, including 0% and low-interest loans through Capital for Change and Energize CT. These programs make it easy for homeowners to invest in comfort and efficiency while keeping monthly payments low.
A More Comfortable, Efficient Home
After her Home Energy Solutions visit, the homeowner noticed her home felt less drafty and her electric system didn’t have to work as hard. With immediate savings in hand and a clear roadmap for future improvements, she’s taking control of her energy use — and her budget.
