Home energy audits are a great way for homeowners to save money on their utility bills. By taking the recommended actions, they can reduce their energy usage and make their homes more comfortable. These improvements include installing LED lights, resealing windows and doors, adding insulation, and using smart thermostat technology. Although these upgrades may require an initial investment, homeowners will see significant savings over time.
An energy assessment typically includes an inspection of a house, including the heating and cooling system, appliances, and light fixtures. It can also identify potential health and safety hazards. It can also include a blower door test to determine the airtightness of a home, infrared scanning to find areas of air leakage, and combustion safety testing for natural gas furnaces and water heaters.
A professional energy auditor will be able to help homeowners choose the best ways to increase their home’s energy efficiency. They can provide a list of energy-saving recommendations and prioritize them for each household. Many of these upgrades are low-cost and will pay for themselves in the form of lower energy bills.
