Sometimes referred to as a home energy checkup or home energy assessment, this is something that many homeowners have been asking about. If you've been living in your home for more than a few years, you probably have some idea of your home's strengths and weaknesses in terms of energy performance.
For example, you know what rooms in your house get uncomfortably warm in summer or unusually chilly during the winter. If your water heater doesn't have an ENERGY STAR label, you can be pretty sure it's not very efficient.
If you know that your water heater needs to be replaced or your attic needs more insulation, it's fine to simply call and get estimates for these energy-saving upgrades. But it's important to remember that a house uses and loses energy in many ways.
Without the complete energy profile that an energy audit provides, it's difficult to know what upgrades are most important and what the order of improvements should be. For example, an energy audit may tell you that instead of replacing your furnace to lower heating costs, you can achieve more savings with less-costly improvements like sealing ductwork and upgrading attic insulation.
Heating and cooling make up the largest percent of energy usage in a home - but it's not just the HVAC system that affects this number. Insulation, leaky ductwork, and air leakage are also factors. Let us help you identify where you are using and losing the most energy in your home.
