Energy audits identify areas of waste and RECOMMEND ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES AND RETROFITS.
Audits provide owners with a "ROADMAP" for achieving energy savings.
Audits are conducted by a Certified specialist.
Our goal is to identify savings that pay for an audit and suggested retrofits in three years or less.
THE ENERGY AUDITING PROCESS:
We offer two types of energy audits:
A
VISUAL INSPECTION AUDIT looks at the home's interior and exterior,
heating & cooling systems, insulation, potential health and safety
issues, and baseload energy uses. The homeowner receives a list of
applicable energy saving measures and resources. The audit requires two
to three hours on site.
A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AUDIT enhances a
visual inspection.. Measurement instruments provide information about
building air leakage and combustion efficiency. The most common
diagnostic tests are: This audit requires four to five hours on site.
A detailed written report is provided.
Blower door testing: evaluates the air-tightness of a home.
Duct air-tightness testing: locates duct air leakage.
Combustion safety and efficiency testing: samples combustion
by-products to evaluate safety and efficiency of gas fired appliances.
Infrared scanning (Thermal Imaging): evaluates differences in the
temperature of building components inside building cavities and helps to
isolate major heat gains or loss points in the building structure.
COST:
A VISUAL INSPECTION AUDIT costs $195.00 for homes of
less than 3000 square feet and $225.00 for homes greater than 3000
square feet. A sales tax of 9% will be applied.
A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AUDIT costs $485.00. A sales tax of 9% will be applied.
