Home Energy Audits

When providing a comprehensive home energy audit, our company employs various tools so that we can provide you with a report that addresses all aspects of your home’s performance.

Blower Door Test

To measure the leakiness of your home, we use a blower door to depressurize the home. The harder the fan works, the more air leakage your home has. We also inspect each room to pinpoint the sources of air leakage.

Many homeowners do not realize that leaky ducts are a common and significant problem with homes. A blower door test can also reveal how much conditioned air is escaping from your heating and cooling system. Keeping this air where it belongs is an important step towards increasing your comfort and the home’s energy efficiency.

Visual Inspection

For a complete picture of your home’s performance, we inspect every accessible part of your house. In addition to the living space, we examine basements, crawlspaces, attics, and the foundation.

Infrared Camera

To better visualize gaps in your home’s thermal envelope, we use advanced infrared cameras which can show temperature differences. By locating these weaknesses, we can provide more effective solutions for improving comfort and energy efficiency.

Combustion Safety

Old and malfunctioning water heaters and furnaces can release harmful or deadly pollutants directly into the air you breathe. To ensure the health and safety of your home, all combustion appliances (including stoves and ovens) are tested for proper venting, carbon monoxide and operating efficiency.

Gas Leak Detection

Even a small gas leak that is undetectable by the human nose can put your health at risk. That is why we use a sophisticated gas leak detector to check every accessible inch of your gas lines, from the meter to the appliances.
