When to consider a home energy assessment
Many homes fail to use energy as efficiently as they should.
Here are some signs you might benefit from a home energy assessment:
- Sky high electric and gas bills
- HVAC systems that struggle to satisfy your thermostat setting
- Failing or missing attic and crawlspace insulation
- Poor air quality that aggravates allergies or gives you headaches
- Older homes built before modern building codes existed
- You’re eager to reduce your consumption and conserve energy
If one or more of those apply to you, a home energy assessment could help you save energy, improve comfort, and pay less for gas and electricity.
After receiving your home efficiency consulting results…
- Air sealing and insulation improvements
- Duct sealing and/or ductwork services, modifications, or installations
- Indoor air quality improvements, which may require ERV installation or other fresh air system installation
- Humidity management, which may entail whole-house dehumidifier installation or humidification equipment
- Manual J load calculations: we also perform Manuals S, D, and T as part of the HVAC side of the consultation — that way, you get properly sized ductwork, registers, and grilles as well.
