Why it matters
Most energy pitches skip straight to a product. Starting from your own house and your own rate keeps you from paying for a fix you did not need.
Residential power runs from about 13 cents a kilowatt-hour in the cheapest state to about 53 in the most expensive. Published by the federal government every month, and it is the starting number for every efficiency decision.

The service life given to residential ductwork, which is shorter than almost anything it connects to. Leaks in it are behind walls and above ceilings.

Where your money actually goes depends on the envelope, the ducts and the equipment in your specific house. It is measured on site, and the cheap fixes usually come before the expensive ones.
What to understand
A few things worth knowing before you decide.
What you pay per unit
The rate and the way you are billed shape every efficiency decision that follows.
Where it goes
Heating, cooling and leaks in the building envelope usually dominate the bill, in that order.
Order of operations
The cheapest savings almost always come before the expensive equipment, not after it.
