Why Get a Home Energy Audit?
As illustrated below, heating accounts for the biggest chunk of our typical utility bills:
Formulate a "Plan"
Once you assign priorities to your energy needs, you can form a whole house efficiency
"plan". Your "plan" will provide you with a strategy for making smart purchases and home improvements that maximize energy efficiency and save the most money.
A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During the audit, you can pinpoint where your house is losing energy. Audits also determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems. An audit may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity.
Our professional auditors use a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency of a structure. Thorough audits often use equipment such as blower doors (pictured below), which measure the extent of leaks in the building envelope, and infrared cameras, which reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.

Formulate a "Plan"
After our professional auditors have identified where your home is losing energy, assign priorities by asking yourself a few important questions:
-
How much money do you spend on energy?
-
Where are your greatest energy losses?
-
How long will it take for an investment in energy efficiency to pay for itself in energy cost savings?
-
Do the energy-saving measures provide additional benefits that are important to you (for example, increased comfort from installing double-paned, efficient windows)?
-
How long do you plan to own your current home?
-
What is your budget and how much time do you have to spend on maintenance and repair?
Once you assign priorities to your energy needs, you can form a whole house efficiency
"plan". Your "plan" will provide you with a strategy for making smart purchases and home improvements that maximize energy efficiency and save the most money.
