What’s Included in an Energy Assessment
This goes beyond a typical property inspection. It’s a thorough, detailed analysis of your home to ensure it operates with maximum efficiency.
- Infrared Imaging: Uses thermal imaging to detect temperature differences, revealing areas where heat is leaking or entering due to insufficient insulation.
- Envelope Leakage Test: Assesses how much air escapes or enters through walls, windows, doors, and the roof, identifying areas where energy efficiency can be improved.
- Duct Leakage Test: Identifies areas where air is escaping from your HVAC system, which can cause higher energy bills and uneven temperatures throughout the home.
- Insulation Assessment: Pinpoints where heat loss or gain is happening, directly impacting the efficiency of your home’s energy use, comfort, and utility expenses.
- Heat Load Calculations: Calculates the necessary amount of heat energy to keep your home or a specific room at a comfortable temperature, even during the coldest outdoor conditions.
- H.E.R.S. Rating: A standardized evaluation of your home’s energy efficiency, helping you make informed decisions about construction or renovations while optimizing energy savings.
- Combustion Appliance Zone Depressurization Testing: Checks for back-drafting of gases, like carbon monoxide (CO), into living areas, ensuring that appliances like furnaces and water heaters are venting properly.
- Whole House Ventilation System Testing: Ensures your home’s ventilation system is functioning as it should, maintaining good air quality, controlling moisture, and supporting energy efficiency.
