Reserve an in home audit time Monday through Friday, either 9am or 1pm.

















1) Make your house more comfortable  The home energy auditor reviews the
home to identify its energy characteristics, such as insulation levels, window
efficiency, wall-to-window ratios, the heating and cooling system efficiency, the
solar orientation of the home, and the water heating system. There is a reason
your home is uncomfortable and We CAN identify the problem.

2) Make you home more healthy for those with respiratory or other health
problems.

3) Buy less energy from the utility companies Utility prices are sure to rise. The
application of building science allows us to choose the improvements that give
the best payback first. For example, most folks would knee-jerk replace their
windows like Pavlov's dogs, not often the best payback. What are your best
improvement options?

4) Reduce the size of your carbon footprint, pollute the environment less. The
application of energy efficiency measures allow the same comfort through less
environmentally harmful means.

5) Learn about how your home compares to other homes built like it. The data
gathered by the home energy rater is entered into a RESNET accredited
computer program and translated into a rating. The home receives a score
between 1 and 100, depending on its relative efficiency. An estimate of the home’
s energy costs is also provided in the report. The home’s energy rating is then
equated to a Star rating ranging from one star for a very inefficient home to five
stars for a highly efficient home. The star and the score provide an easily
understandable means to compare more efficient homes by their relative energy
efficiency.

5) Identify cost effective improvements  An in home audit costs $200, takes two
to three hours in home and requires a home owner to share three things: A) the
last full years utility bills, B) their perception of comfort problems and C) budget.
Provide access to the attic, basement and all parts of the house and yard.  You
will receive a compact disk with pictures identifying specific to-do items for
improvement.

More extensive procedures take a Home Energy Rater a day or two and  can
cost up to $750. Performance testing, such as a blower door test for air leakage
and duct leakage, is usually part of the rating. Sophisticated software allows us
to quantify your problems and identify your solutions and their respective
returns on investment. We can actually see the infiltration problems in your
home with our infra-red camera.

6) Move into an efficient home with a favorable mortgage A home energy rating
is a recognized tool in the mortgage industry. Home energy ratings can be used
in a variety of ways in the housing industry. Bankers can loan you more money
knowing that your monthly utility costs will be lower.

7) An Energy Improvement Mortgage refinance allows you to pay to improve your
homes' comfort over time. Rates are at an all time low right now! Bundle
efficiency improvements with renewable energy production and buy a life time
worth of energy out-right.

I have included a link to Energy Star for Homes because it explains so many
concepts involved in my work so much better than I could. Why re-invent the
wheel in a wobbly way?

and internal heat gain is something I could talk about.
