What Does a Home Energy Audit Consist of?

An audit will:

·          Pin-point drafts that make you cold using a calibrated "blower door" fan

·          Identify air leaks that cause high heating/cooling bills

·          Find the reason some rooms are cold while others are hot

·          Chart a course toward fixing the problem

·          Examine combustion devices for health and safety issues, and efficiency

We use a calibrated "blower door" fan to understand how tight your house is. The fan accentuates all air leaks both big and small helping us identify if the comfort problem is solely an infiltration (air leaks) issue or a combination of drafts, lack of insulation and poor heat (or cold) distribution.

 

We will also use infrared cameras, which reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.

All homes have the same systems, but each home is different. While all homes share similar components, how the parts are assembled is uniquely different. A diagnostic home energy audit can help customers better understand their homes and the unique problems the home systems might create over time.

A Prochek home energy audit will be the first step in making your home more efficient. An audit can help you assess how much energy your home uses and evaluate what measures you can take to improve efficiency. Prochek can work with you to improve energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and increase comfort.
