Energy Audit

With utilities bills only going up and up, everyone is looking for ways to use less energy. Turning off the lights when you leave the room or adjusting the thermostat a few degrees are great places to start, but they won’t solve all of your heating and cooling problems. The U.S. Department of Energy says “A home energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.” The best thing you can do for your home and your checkbook is taking advantage of a home energy assessment.

The objective of a home energy assessment is to discover how energy is being utilized in your home. It can recognize and remedy wastefulness. It can show you issues that can save you a considerable amount of money over time. With the right answers as to how to use energy efficiently, it’s possible to reduce energy costs and remain comfortable.

After a thorough diagnosis of the way your home uses energy, a certified home advisor will offer solutions. Keep in mind that the assessment itself will not save energy. It’s necessary to take part in the recommended changes and improvements. Your home advisor should provide you with a prioritized list of adaptations you can make to reduce your energy usage. A few changes can save you big bucks in the long run.
