Energy Audit

A home energy audit (survey) is an evaluation of an existing home to determine where and how energy is being lost, what systems are operating inefficiently, and what improvements can then be implemented to aid in occupant comfort and reduced utility costs.

General Energy Audit

A General Energy Audit includes all of the inspections provided in the Home Energy Survey and also includes diagnostic testing using specialized equipment such as a blower door, combustion analyzer and infrared camera to determine:

• The amount and location of air leaks in the building envelope
• The effectiveness of insulation inside walls and ceilings
• Any existing or potential combustion safety issues

An Energy Auditor conducts a whole-house evaluation and performs computer software analysis to identify and prioritize proposed treatments for improvement. The detailed report will provide suitable retrofit recommendations and specifications and guide the homeowner to the appropriate contractors who can perform the work. A General Energy Audit takes 3-4 hours depending on the size of your home.
