I even go a step farther, I personally think any LC's period/home energy audits, should become a trade withing itself. Most of of old guys started out running service and installations that was enough, now like me most of us older folks are probably just running service and have install crews. I don't know about the larger companies, maybe they have folks on the payrolls that can do all this sealing the envelope stuff, but I need all my help I have on the front lines, not performing LC's. I personally believe it would benefit the whole trade to take the responsibility and liability off the backs of the a/c and heating service companies, then we could concentrate on our job we were born into to perform, not doing something we had forced upon us. This would be so easy, Mr. Jones we would love to set you up with a new system, let me give you the number of a professionally "qualified" company that can perform an LC and energy audit on your home and when there finished we can fix you up, takes the liability of sizing correctly off our backs. Let me tell you, I would rather have my wisdom teeth pulled, than go through the anguish of wondering if the system we installed in "Houston" if going to be the correct size according to the LC performed, do we really need this added burden on us? I have enough on my plate just keeping up with my everyday calls.
