HOME ENERGY AUDIT BROOKLYN

What is an Energy Audit?

Taking steps to lower heating and cooling costs adds up to real savings over time. Getting an energy audit performed can point to improvements which can save homeowners up to 25% on their energy bill (annually). Savings are possible because Energy Audits let individuals see what steps they can take to increase energy efficiency in the home. The audit can point out which improvements save the greatest amount of energy and they estimate what the savings will be. When you save energy, you save money.

Home energy audits, also referred to as home energy assessments, are often the first step in determining whether and where your home is wasting energy. Audits also provide recommendations on measures intended to save energy and improve the efficiency, comfort, and safety of your home.

Home energy audits identify how and where your home is wasting energy, which systems/appliances may be working ineffectively, and what actions you can take to make your home more efficient. Audits look comprehensively at all areas of your home, such as how well your home is insulated, the effectiveness of your heating and cooling equipment, appliance and lighting characteristics, any health and safety issues, and more.

Benefits of Home Energy Audits

• Energy Usage. Audits help you understand how much energy your home is using, and which products or systems (such as heating and cooling systems) are using the most.
• Unknown Issues. Audits can uncover hidden problems (such as leaky air ducts or uninsulated walls) that may be making your home less efficient and increasing your utility bills.
• Health and Safety. Audits can uncover potential health and safety concerns (such as improper ventilation, which may cause mold and mildew growth and degrade air quality).
• Opportunities. Once an audit is complete, you will receive a prioritized list of potential improvements to help determine where your home improvement dollars would be best spent.
• Savings and Comfort. Acting on audit recommendations will not only help you save on your utility bills but also increase the comfort of your home by better moderating the temperature, eliminating drafts, and improving air quality.
