  3. Energy Audit

If you want to save energy in your home but don’t know where to get started, it’s important to have a home energy audit done. While you can look for areas that may be losing energy on your own, this may not give you the most accurate information. If you’d like an in-depth analysis of where you’re losing energy and how that can be remedied, then having a professional energy audit done is essential. Once this is done, you might be surprised to learn more about the energy efficiency of your home and the areas where you can improve.

Comprehensive Energy Audit

To get the most in-depth information about your home’s energy performance as well as its efficiency, a comprehensive energy audit is the way to go. During this appointment, your auditor will look at all areas of your home where the loss of energy is possible. This can include windows, walls, doors, the HVAC unit, roof, insulation, and more. To ensure information is accurate, the auditor will bring the tools that are necessary to ensure accurate results, so you can use that information to make various improvements around your home.

You can learn more about what’s included in an energy audit with the information below. Each part of the inspection will help you make sense of how your home loses energy and how that makes an impact on your bills and comfort.

Analyze Existing Energy Systems

Look at the age of your HVAC system. Older units can be very inefficient and end up costing you more to operate. If you are able to replace your HVAC, you can see considerable energy savings for the next 10-20 years. It’s also important to make sure all filters are cleaned out and replaced on a regular basis.

If you have solar panels on your home, then your auditor will look at these as well. They’ll determine how well your panels are working, if they are saving you the maximum amount of energy, and if anything can be done to improve their efficiency. Additionally, it’s important to look at your appliances to see if they are energy efficient or if they are wasting energy throughout the year.

Analyze Property Structure

Your energy auditor will look around your property to identify issues that can lead to energy efficiency. This can include the roof, the ceiling, bedrooms, flooring, windows, doors, the garage, and the attic. In these structures, the ventilation will be inspected as will the insulation.

Find Potential Energy Losses

In most homes, the major sources of energy loss are the windows and doors. However, you could also be losing energy due to the lack of insulation, inferior appliances, an old HVAC system, and even lighting. Your energy auditor will look at each of these things using their special equipment and experience to determine exactly where energy is being lost.
