Home Energy Audit
You wouldn’t leave the sink on when you’re not using it, and you wouldn’t leave your car running when you’re not driving it. So why should you let valuable home energy slip through your fingers? Heating is the largest energy expense in your home – usually close to 45% of your energy bills. A few changes to conserve more energy can make a big difference in your budget.
By performing a home energy audit, Boro Energy can take all the guesswork out of your ideal conservation strategy. A home energy audit allows us to understand the property’s energy-use systems and factors, and develop a straightforward conservation approach that accounts for the building’s infrastructure, insulation, and comfort equipment. Here’s how it works, in four simple steps:
- Cost Evaluation: First, we analyze the building's energy expenses. By determining how much energy is used and accounting for cubic footage, we develop an energy consumption baseline and building profile.
- Preliminary Building Assessment: We examine the physical building and record information about comfort systems, windows, doors, and insulation.
- Detailed Building Assessment: We use advanced equipment such as blower doors to assess the sealing of the building shell and pinpoint areas of air infiltration.
- Comprehensive Report: We cross-reference our findings from the two-stage building assessment in an evaluation that covers the comfort systems, insulation, air sealing, appliances, lighting and more. This report includes specific recommendations, as well as the savings potential of each improvement. It also identifies opportunities for cost relief, including grants and tax credits for energy conservation.
Following the evaluation, we’ll help you put our recommended conservation measures into practice, including helping you select and install high-efficiency comfort equipment. With a home energy audit from Boro Energy, you can turn your home into a fully-functioning conservational powerhouse. Contact Boro Energy today to schedule your home energy audit.
