When Do You Need an Energy Assessment?
(View as a downloadable PDF version)
An energy assessment, also known as an energy audit, is a thorough “look under the hood” of your home comfort and overall efficiency. But how can you know when you need to schedule an assessment? Here are a few scenarios where scheduling an energy assessment with the East Bay experts at Hassler will help you save energy, increase the comfort of your home, and make your home a healthier place to live.
1. You’re looking to upgrade your furnace or air conditioner
Has it been more than ten years since you last installed any new heating and cooling equipment? Have you had to schedule multiple furnace or air conditioning service calls in the last few years? An energy assessment will tell you what's wrong with your equipment, and how you will stand to benefit by upgrading.
2. You need to reduce your energy bills
Energy prices can be unpredictable. However, if you have noticed that your year-over-year heating and cooling costs seem to go up and up, an energy assessment will tell you where and how you are losing energy. Oftentimes, we find there are underlying issues with the home that are contributing to high energy bills!
3. You want to decrease your carbon footprint and use less energy
Are you hoping to do your part to reduce the strain on California’s already overloaded electrical grid, or simply reduce your carbon footprint for environmental reasons? An energy assessment will uncover all of the ways you can save energy.
4. You are concerned about the health of your breathing air
Have you spent more time indoors this year? Are you concerned the air in your home may be aggravating your allergy symptoms or other underlying health conditions? Our home energy assessment can also uncover the state of your indoor air quality and ways you can make your home a healthier place to eat, sleep, and breathe.
5. Your home is increasingly uncomfortable
Do the summer temperatures here in the Golden State have you sweating in front of the air vents? Or perhaps you’ve found the cold winter nights are a little too cold for comfort. An energy assessment shows all of the interconnected inefficiencies in your home, so you can gain complete control over your home comfort.
