Professional Home Energy Audits
Our professional energy audits go into great detail. We do a thorough examination of your past utility bills as well as a room-by-room examination of your residence, an interview with you to listen to your concerns and answer your questions, followed by a blower door test and a thermographic or IR camera scan. To ensure the safety of all family members, we evaluate all your gas appliances for efficiency and carbon monoxide. All accessible areas outside the conditioned spaces (attics, basements, crawlspaces, etc.) are inspected for energy losses, ventilation problems, insulation levels and quality of insulation installation.
This information is entered in to our proprietary modeling software where we examine your unique issues and generate an audit report, along with an analysis of each recommended improvement. This report includes approximate costs to make the improvements, estimated savings and the payback period to break even on your investment. We strongly recommend that you have an energy analysis performed on your home before designing or installing any solar or HVAC features. Once the new, smaller heating and cooling requirements are determined, it is then possible to design a solar heating system sized to your new and smaller requirements. Plus, if your home needs energy upgrades, it makes economic sense to perform these upgrades first and then conduct a new energy analysis on the updated building. By reducing the heating and/or cooling requirements of your home first, you can reduce the size of the solar system needed to heat and/or cool your home. This can result in a lower up-front cost to you. ......Continue for Pricing
