An Involved Home Energy Assessment
Friday, July 17, 2015
If there’s one thing that just about every homeowner in Moraga, CA can agree upon, it’s that no one wants to spend more than they should on their monthly energy bill.
Looking to improve the comfort and efficiency of your home, but not sure where to start? A home energy assessment (also known as a home energy audit) is a diagnostic test that evaluates the efficiency of your East Bay home, and will pinpoint the areas that need to be improved to maximize your home’s performance.
A home energy assessment takes a deep dive into your home, and evaluates how all of its interrelated components work together as a functioning unit, so that you can make the right home improvement and get the maximum benefit for the least amount of work!
What Will an Energy Assessment Uncover?
As the Hassler team has performed these professional energy audits throughout El Cerrito, Berkeley, San Rafael, and the rest of the East Bay Area, there are some common updates that we recommend.
Air sealing and insulation are usually the most common areas of weak home performance. We locate air leaks through what is called a blower door test, and determine whether you need insulation services in your existing walls, in the attic, or in the basement using infrared camera imaging. From there, we can discuss with you how home air sealing works, what air sealing does for a home, and which insulation materials will be best for your home performance upgrade.
Each Energy Assessment Will Locate:
Areas of Inadequate Insulation and Air Sealing
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues
Ventilation Losses
Sources of Air Loss
Heating and Cooling System Efficiency
Inefficient or Improperly Sized Appliances
Moisture Issues
Causes of Indoor Drafts
