The Benefits of Home Energy Audits

0
0

There are so many electronic devices in the modern home that it is increasingly difficult to keep track of what is using up the largest share of energy in the house. Why not seek out a qualified local home energy auditor to take a look? The process only takes an afternoon, and can reveal surprising revelations as to why your home energy bills keep climbing.

The audit could simply reveal that your household has been using too much energy during “peak” hours (the time of day when demand is greatest and energy companies charge a premium.) On the other hand, the home audit inspector could discover that your home’s water heater is using much more energy to do its job than it should (a common issue as appliances age.) That is, your appliances are not working at peak efficiency.

The point is, you have no plan to tackle your home’s energy consumption until you have a map provided by the home energy inspection service. Home Energy auditors make use of advanced equipment such as blower doors and infrared cameras, which test the tightness of the building envelope and identify otherwise hard to spot leaks. With home heating and cooling (depending on the region) being the top source of energy consumption in the house, an home energy efficiency audit could save you thousands per year by simply pointing out where there is a patch of faulty insulation.

The costs of having such an audit done are more than outweighed by the monthly savings on your electric bill. In addition to this monthly savings, homes that are demonstratively more energy efficient are worth more than similar homes in that same market.

So do not hesitate, if your energy bills are out of control, schedule a home efficiency audit today.
