One of the hottest topics in home ownership these days is energy efficiency. Homeowners recognize the benefits of an efficient house. These benefits span beyond helping the environment and actually help homeowners reduce their energy consumption and costs. Energy efficiency inspections are a great way for you to locate the air leakage sites around your home and create a game plan for addressing the issues those leakage sites cause.
Blower Door Testing
Whether this service is provided as a stand alone service or part of our Home Energy Audit, the purpose is to identify any air leaks in your home and ductwork system. It might be hard to imagine, but there are potential air leaks all over your home. Your ductwork allows air to flow into and out of your home. Small cracks around your windows and doors do the same thing. During a blower door test, experts depressurize your home, so the air is pulled through all of the different cracks, which makes them easier to locate. Our RESNET and/or BPI expert, will walk through your home during the blower door test and mark all of the areas in which air is being sucked through leakage.
Infrared Scan
During an infrared scan, certified thermographers walk through your house using a camera to scan the walls, ceiling, and floor joists. The camera will identify areas of your home that are missing insulation. Another added benefit of the infrared scan is that it helps identify air moving in wall cavities. This technique and technology allows us to find problems that the blower door can not identify.
