Energy Audits:
As energy costs continue to escalate, it has become
more and more important to provide for remedies to your home that will result in energy savings for both cooling
and heating. The fact is that most homes have areas where conditioned air, whether warmed or cooled, escapes
causing air conditioning and heating systems to work longer and harder in order to maintain a desirable
environment. This results in larger energy costs and shorter equipment life. It would be wise to consider a home
energy audit to determine how these costs can be minimized. It would be a mistake to think this is a
problem in older homes only. Many inspections performed on newly constructed homes have revealed significant energy
losses due to poor or inadequate installation of appliances and windows as well as construction.
At Real Horizons, the Energy Audit process is approached in two distinct ways;
(1) determining areas resulting in the loss of energy and (2) an assessment of the home's environmental factors. A
typical Home Energy Audit would involve an inspection of the entire home focusing on those areas which typically
are notorious for energy loss and gain. This would include, in part, an inspection of the heating/cooling system,
associated ductwork, leakage around windows and doors, protrusions through the home's exterior, attic
ventilation and many other areas to numerous to list here. In addition, at every room in the home, we take a
series of specific measurements such as Relative Humidity, Ambient Temperatures, Dew points, and Return and Supply
Air differentials and perform an analysis of this data to arrive at a clear picture of your home's
environment. With the data obtained during the process, we can formulate a clear and consice report with
recommendations that you can use to start saving energy and become more comfortable in your home. Of course we
utilize special equipment for these measurements which includes the use of Infrared Thermal Image Scanning.
If you think your energy bills are high or have experienced a significant
increase in your energy costs, other things remaining the same or that you are generally uncomfortable in your
home, please CONTACT US so that we may discuss your
situation and set up an audit inspection. You will receive a clearly written report with recommendations
prioritized according to those issues having the greatest impact and a Free annotated photo album of all
deficiencies found during the audit.
