Why Should I Have A Energy Audit Performed?

   Energy costs are increasing rapidly and most home and business owners are searching for ways to improve their property’s performance and lower their overall energy cost. A "Green Energy Audit" is a way to do that by analyzing the overall energy consumption of the home or office while identifying unseen losses. 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. An eneregy audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During the audit, you can pinpoint where your house is losing energy. Audits also determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems. An audit may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. You can perform a simple energy audit yourself, or have a professional energy auditor carry out a more thorough audit.

The Zero Energy Team uses the latest technology and skills to perform our analysis from heat sensitive inferred cameras, to computer controlled blower-door analyzers, to the good old fashion walk and crawl through to identify problem areas. The Zero Energy Team can help you maximize your energy savings plan. Infrared scanning allows our auditors to check the effectiveness of all the insulation in a building's construction. The resulting thermograms help the Zero Energy Team determine whether your home needs insulation and where in the home it should go. Because wet insulation conducts heat faster than dry insulation, thermographic scans of roofs can often detect roof leaks.
