Home Energy Audits
What is a Home Energy Audit?
A Comfortable Home Energy Audit is a series of test and inspections using state of the art diagnostic energy audit tools that ensures a safe, durable, energy efficient and comfortable home in a non-invasive manner. We determine why your home is experiencing high energy costs and uncomfortable temperatures. We then recommend and show you how to do improvements that will yield high energy savings at the lowest cost. Many of the repairs can be "Do It Yourself" projects. We treat your home as an integrated system and take a "whole house" approach to determine where, why and how your home is losing money.
We show and explain to the homeowner everything we are doing and finding during the energy audit process. If we find a spot that needs air sealing, we show them not only how to address it but how it is affecting heating and cooling cost, as well as indoor air quality. Insulation is often times an area of concern, and we explain how a combination of insulation and air sealing helps a home maintain a comfortable temperature and lower energy bills. We explain which type of insulation is best for each application and why.
Benefits of Home Energy Audits
Most people are concerned about reducing the drafts in their home, increasing insulation levels, lowering their utility bills or reducing their carbon foot print. However, one area that often times gets overlooked is the condition and performance of their combustion appliances. We understand that each system in the home must work together as a whole, so we also test the combustion appliances to ensure they are working properly and safely.
