<\/p>\nYou get regular checkups for your car, your finances, your job performance, your kids\u2019 behavior at school, and especially for your body. Why wouldn\u2019t you get a checkup for your home? “Audit” may be associated with \u201cunpleasant\u201d in your book (especially if you\u2019ve ever tangled with the IRS), but an energy audit may be the very thing you need to efficiently solve problems you didn\u2019t know you had.<\/p>\n
Talk about false advertising: research has proved that so-called \u201chigh-efficiency\u201d heating and cooling systems don\u2019t deliver the comfort and lower energy bills they promise. A typical home wastes 25 \u2013 45% of its home heating system. An energy audit can inform you why this happens and how to avoid it.<\/p>\n
Insulation, or lack thereof, is a major factor in reduced energy efficiency and is a big point of concern during energy audits. Air, heat, and moisture are three major problems that can be reduced or eliminated entirely with proper insulation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first problem is air \u2014 you don\u2019t want it blowing freely through your home. Homes should be \u201ctightened\u201d to guard against drafts, which waste energy. The second is heat. By sealing leaks and improving insulation, you can make your home more comfortable and \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 save energy. The third is moisture. By managing air and heat flows in your home, you can reduce the amount of moisture caused by fluctuating temperatures.<\/p>\n
Still not seeing how an energy audit can help you? We do both manual and machine-run inspections to make sure your insulation is properly installed and performing at its best. An audit can catch everything from hollow wall cavities to a tiny leak in your ductwork. You can save anywhere from 20 \u2013 50% on your home energy bills by implementing the improvements we recommend, many of which you can do yourself. For those improvements that require a trained professional, we stand ready to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
