Energy Audits
Energy Audits
An energy audit is a great way to identify areas where your home or business is wasting energy. One way to find these trouble areas is through the use of a blower door and thermal imaging camera. The blower door simulates a 15 mph wind, on the building. This simulated wind helps to locate areas where conditioned air is being wasted to the outside, or unconditioned air is being drawn indoors. In either case, this causes your HVAC system to work harder.
If you receive high energy bills month after month, there may be solutions through the use of building sciences. We offer professional energy audits with customized reports, full-scale energy retrofit projects, and air sealing. All of our Home Performance Professionals and Energy Auditors are certified by the Building Performance Institute.

Aeroseal
Don’t forget about those leaky ducts. A system is only as good as the ductwork it's connected too. To optimize your system, you may be interested in Aeroseal. Areoseal is a duct sealing product that seals your ducts and helps to improve your air conditioning system in four key areas: equipment performance, energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, and dust control.
