We provide energy audits to show you where your home
is wasting energy, and tell you exactly how to fix it.
Why is a Home Energy Audit Important?
An energy audit determines specifically where your home is wasting energy. We use a 'blower door' to increase the rate at which the home is leaking air, making energy loss more easily detectible. Then we use an infrared camera to scan the structure and systems in the home. This technical testing and equipment gives homeowners a clear picture of exactly where their home is losing energy, and therefore, wasting money.
What are the Biggest Misconceptions About an Energy Audit?
Many homeowners think that, in order to dramatically improve their efficiency and lower costs, they need to explore cutting edge green technologies. While those technologies are fantastic, energy efficiency starts with how the structure of a home and its systems interact. After all, it's the home where the energy is used...and wasted.
What are Homeowners Most Surprised to Learn from Audit Test Results?
Most homeowners are happily surprised to learn many of the repairs that have the biggest impact on energy efficiency are very inexpensive and easy to get done. That is, once you know where they are!
Are You Hesitant to Schedule an Energy Audit?
It's very powerful to know what is really wrong in your home. While some of the improvements may be too costly to act on immediately, at least you'll know what needs to be done. Plus, there are always things that can be done inexpensively, that will make a noticeable difference.
Are There any Tax Rebates Presently Available for Energy Efficient Homes?
Yes. Presently there is a $2000 federal tax credit available for energy efficient homes. Also, bi-partisan legislation has been introduced for a $5000 tax credit for energy efficient homes.
