What to Expect from a Home Energy Assessment
A specially trained and certified technician will conduct a Comprehensive Home Assessment, which has 2 phases.
The first phase consists of the technician taking inventory of, and reporting on, the current conditions in your home, including the following:
- Health and safety check (carbon monoxide levels, moisture, and indoor air quality problems)
- Overall comfort level (cold/hot spots, indoor air quality stuffiness/stale odors)
- Air infiltration rates
- Insulation levels
- Heating system efficiency
- Cooling system/central air conditioning efficiency, if applicable
- Domestic hot water system efficiency
- Major appliances
- Lighting
Certified technicians use a number of diagnostic tools during the first phase of your Comprehensive Home Assessment. Some of the tools the they will use are:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analyzer: important health and safety tool
- Blower Door: measures the air tightness of a home and aids in identifying areas where air leakage is occurring
The second phase consists of contacting a participating contractor to receive pricing on the proposed improvement work.
