Make Your Home Healthier with an Energy Audit

A home is the biggest investment that most people ever make, and if you want to get the most from your own home investment, it’s important to make sure it’s as healthy, comfortable, and energy efficient as possible. How does your home measure up?

With an energy audit, you can find out exactly how healthy your home is — and what you can do to make it healthier.

How Can an Energy Audit Make My Home Healthier?

Your home depends on a number of systems in order to stay healthy, comfortable, and efficient year-round — including its heating and cooling systems, ventilation, and insulation. Because these systems work together, a problem with one system affects the health of your entire home.

That’s where an energy audit comes in. An energy audit assesses how well these systems are running in your home and uncovers the root causes of any home health issues. It will also point you to exactly the right solutions for improving your home.

What Does an Energy Audit Entail?

During your home energy audit, an experienced home performance expert will perform a series of diagnostic tests. This includes:

  • Blower door testing to measure total air leakage

  • Thermal imaging to pinpoint air leaks and insulation gaps

  • Duct leakage testing to locate leaks in ductwork

  • Attic and crawlspace or basement evaluations to locate inefficiencies and test for radon

  • Customized report with recommended home upgrades

Often after we perform energy audits, we recommend upgrades like air sealing for air leaks, insulation for temperature inconsistencies, dehumidification for excess moisture, and duct sealing for greater HVAC efficiency.

After you complete the recommended home improvements, you’ll experience benefits like increased home efficiency, lower utility bills, better indoor air quality, and greater indoor comfort — all signs of a healthy home!
