Energy Audits

A professional energy audit is relatively inexpensive and provides invaluable information. After a thorough survey of your home or business, a licensed and certified professional can suggest measures geared specifically to your property that will make it more comfortable and reduce utility bills.

Our professional energy audits include the following:

Use of a calibrated blower door – To the extent that is possible, the technician will seal your home and then using a special fan create negative pressure (don’t worry, nothing will be damaged) which will draw air inside. This makes it easier to detect leaks and reveals areas for improvement typically not noticeable.

A thermographic inspection – this specialized test will result in a color coded chart of your home indicating warm and cool spots. Using this information, the technician can suggest means of equalizing the temperature throughout your home – these may include installing additional thermostats, heating vents or humidifiers in key areas.

Inspection of ducts and HVAC equipment – if your ducts have leaks, or your heating and cooling equipment is operating below their peak performance level, the technician will determine the cause and suggest solutions.
