How Does A Home Energy Audit Work?

During an energy audit, your auditor will review your electric and heating bills and then they will inspect your home for ways to improve how your home uses electric and heating fuel.  Often times we will use specialized tools such as a blower door and thermal imaging to determine how your home performs under certain stresses and to see where the energy is leaking out of the home.  We will then make recommendations as to how your home can be improved.  Often times that may require doing some air sealing, and/or adding insulation to your home.

Your home’s heating and cooling will typically account for approximately 40%-50% of your overall utility costs.  It is imperative to ensure that the highest efficiency and performance of your HVAC system is achieved.  We will review your current system and make recommendations about how to improve the overall efficiency while improving your comfort and indoor air quality.
