What to Expect During an Energy Audit

The purpose of an energy audit is to identify wasted energy and safety issues. An auditor uses special tools, including:

  • Blower door to depressurize the home.
  • Infrared scanner to check for low insulation levels and air leaks while the home is depressurized.
  • Combustion analyzer to measure furnace efficiency.
  • Manometer to gauge pressure differences and pinpoint air leaks.

Wondering what goes into a home energy audit and how long an energy audit takes? Using these tools, the auditor conducts a series of inspections and tests, which may take up to two hours to complete. The auditor:

  • Analyzes your energy bills to determine your energy consumption.
  • Conducts an exterior inspection, looking for problems with the siding or eaves. Taking into consideration, the type of siding, roofing & window ratings.
  • Inspects the interior, checking what types of light bulbs, faucets, and shower heads you use along with your thermostat and water heater settings.
  • Checks the HVAC system for combustion efficiency and poorly sealed/insulated ductwork.
  • Conducts a blower door test to make air leaks and insulation gaps in the walls and ceilings easier to find.
  • Provides air sealing to make sure the home does not leak conditioned air outside. One important function of this is to create a divided barrier from the home conditioned air to the unconditioned air, such as your attic.

Benefits of an Energy Audit

Whether you suffer from HVAC performance issues, home comfort problems or high energy bills, an energy audit can help. Once every step of the inspection is complete, the energy auditor explains the results and identifies how you can make improvements. For example:

  • You can warm up the attic floor by adding insulation, which you didn’t know was needed until the infrared scanner revealed the heat loss there. We will provide you with the best suggested R-Value for your home.
  • Air sealing your attic with the Weatherization process to dramatically improve your home’s energy usage and comfort.

The key to making the right home improvements is to identify problem areas, which is what an energy audit is all about. When we make replacement recommendations, we do them in a way that solves comfort issues that homeowners have been experiencing for years. The auditor creates a comprehensive improvement plan, possibly including some of the suggestions here. The plan outlines:

  • How to prioritize the improvements your home needs.
  • The annual savings you can expect once you make the improvements.
  • A return on your investment calculation.
