Achieve Peak Energy Efficiency with a Home Energy Audit

Energy costs are some of the highest monthly expenses when it comes to owning a home. The price of heating and cooling your home could be staggering at first, especially if there are any serious drafts or leaks in the HVAC system. A home energy audit from trained technicians can help identify inefficiencies. You can use that information to explore ways to reduce your energy bills.

Homeowners can rely on the home energy experts at Taylor Heating & Cooling for comprehensive residential energy audits that truly help them achieve top energy efficiency all year-round.

How Is a Residential Energy Audit Performed?

A variety of tools are used in different parts of your home to measure whether or not things are airtight and whether your appliances are operating at peak efficiency. Here’s what’s involved in a full home energy audit:

First is the exterior and interior inspection. When taking a look at a home’s exterior, our crew members evaluate the building’s overall condition and look for any safety issues. Once that’s done, they’ll head inside. This half of the inspection covers everything from the crawl space to the attic. We look for excess dirt and debris, as these are signs the air is moving somewhere nearby. These drafty spots are the best place to apply insulation. Finally, they’ll check the lighting and other appliances to see if improvements can be made.

Three Special Energy Audit Tasks

1

Blower Door Test

This type of test measures how well a home is sealed from the outside and helps to locate leaks and drafts. A high-powered fan sucks the air out, making it easier to find where these leaks are located. Once these gaps are identified, they can be sealed to prevent more HVAC energy being wasted.

2

Infrared Thermal Imaging

By using infrared camera technology, our auditors can locate more hot or cold spots. It’s a non-invasive way to review where you might be losing any heating or cooling over the year.

3

Combustion Safety and Gas Leak Tests

It’s especially important we complete a safety check on gas appliances, such as the furnace, boiler and water heater. Combustion safety and gas leak testing means each pipe and fitting is inspected and measured for proper seals. Carbon monoxide levels are also monitored.

We’ll Also Check Insulation Levels

Our technicians will perform an inspection of your home’s current insulation levels to determine how effectively it is performing. If the insulation levels are less than recommended, then you could be losing a significant amount of heat through the ceiling and walls.
