Mike Rogers replied to Dennis McCarthy's discussion LEDs Magazine's comparision of some A-19 LED choices"Dennis--I live in the residential retail market. I haven't seen CCT and CRI (I don't even know what CSQ is!) drive many conversations in residential retrofit, and we're not likely to see that level of sophistication in choosing. You…"

Bob Blanchette replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""The key is targeting the audience. Often it's people who already have low power bills that are most interested in reducing them further, the audits and improvements rarely have a reasonable payback time.. The people with $3,000+ in annual…"
Mike Rogers's discussion was featured"Single Action Bias"
Proponents of checklist audits, screening audits, survey audits, Home Energy Score audits, free audits and even simple measure installation programs, can you explain how you overcome the "single action bias". Too often people respond to pleas to address a problem with a single small step--and feeling they've solved everything they don't do anything further. "Oh, we don't need that. We already had an energy audit." A refrain that our folks hear out in the field, and a hurdle that must be…See More
Patrick Michaelyan replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""I will read the report Mike.
I'd also like to leave an ace in the hole, and (IMO) this is the HP pro who is both committed to the bigger picture and knows how to sell it. (I certainly hope that I am one of them!)"
Mike Rogers replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""Patrick--your experience is what I'd expect since you both do audit AND install measures. It matches what we experience.
Tom, your example may be the case, but that's not the point I was trying to make. Let me try…"
Patrick Michaelyan replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""That is the right point Tom.
My big question is whether we HP pros will band together to take advantage of the distressed property rehabs. I have seen some, and they could have used a HP pro in their rehabs.
I have tried to reach out to the…"
Tom White replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""Mike, do you think homeowners believe their audit validated their single small energy-saving steps in some way? You seem to imply that the audit only call for small steps (weatherstrip/CFLs/low-flo showerhead). It could be a case where…"
Patrick Michaelyan replied to Mike Rogers's discussion "Single Action Bias""Mike, let me just say that I def hear you (and feel your chagrin).
My company went out with a few bucks from ARRA ($5,000 to perform 20 audits at $250 each), and we were able to convert 10 of the 20 audits to HP measures. Since then, 3 more of the…"
