Energy Assessments
Home Energy Assessments
A home energy assessment evaluates your home's efficiency based on current standards, identifying areas for improvement. Most older homes will benefit from targeted recommendations to meet today’s best practices.
The typical 3-hour assessment includes:
Inspecting for air leaks in foundation, exterior walls, and openings (windows, doors, outlets, etc.)
Checking energy loss-prone areas like the attic, basement, and crawl spaces
Conducting a blower door test with thermal imaging to assess air leakage
Testing gas appliances for safety
The assessor will also review your utility bills and provide a custom report with personalized energy improvement recommendations.
Business Energy Assessments
A business energy assessment is a professional evaluation of your building’s energy efficiency, based on current standards. Older commercial buildings often fall short of today’s best practices, making them ideal candidates for targeted upgrades.
What to expect during your assessment:
Inspection of the foundation and exterior walls for air leaks
Review of seals around windows, doors, vents, lighting, outlets, plumbing fixtures, baseboards, and fireplaces
Evaluation of energy loss-prone areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces
Blower door test and thermal imaging to identify air leakage
Safety testing of gas appliances to ensure proper combustion and venting
Review of your past year’s utility bills to analyze energy use
Your assessor will use specialized software to evaluate your building’s performance and provide a detailed report with personalized recommendations to help improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
