About Home Energy Audit Services LLC

Home Energy Audit Services LLC is an independent provider of home energy assessments. We look at all aspects of your home with your objectives in mind and then we make recommendations to improve the efficiency of your home. We are acting as your advocate, in your mission to reduce energy, for whatever reason and in whatever way you choose. We are not insulation or furnace sales representatives. If your home needs a furnace or insulation (many homes benefit from these measures) then we recommend them, and you can use your own trusted contractor or we will recommend one that we know who does quality work, in a timely fashion, at a fair price. What ever your house needs to save energy and you want, we will help you safely and cost effectively implement.

Our service is a diagnostic analysis on your home and its energy efficiency. The assessment consists of a series of tests using specialized equipment, designed to tell us exactly how inefficent your home is and how much money you are losing monthly due to those inefficiencies.

Home Energy Audit Services LLC will not attempt to sell you any improvements, only make recommendations on ways to make your home energy efficient, draft free, healthy and comfortable. We do however, have a network of contractors that are able to make improvements and are licenced by the state and local communities. (Upon your Request)

Blower Door Analysis

A blower door consists of a panel with a built-in fan that fits in an open exterior door. The fan de-pressurizes the home to a standard pressure. Gauges then measure the air leakage. Blower-door testing helps the energy auditor determine airtightness and decide if air-sealing work is necessary. If the home needs air-sealing, a blower door also helps to locate specific areas in the home that allow air leakage. ENERGY STAR estimates that a knowledgeable homeowner or skilled contractor can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% on their total annual energy bill) by air sealing and insulating.

Thermal Imaging Analysis

The energy auditor uses a infared scanner. Infared scanners are optical viewers or cameras that reveal temperature differences. (Standard camereas reveal differences in light brightness.) Using infared scanners, the energy auditor can detect heat transmission and air leakage. Finding hidden air leaks is possible using the blower door and infared scanner together.

Duct Leakage Analysis

A small blower is connected to the ductwork in your home. The blower pressure tests your duct system much the same way a plumber pressure tests your water pipes for leaks. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, typical duct systems lose 25% to 40% of the energy put out by the central furnace, heat pump or air conditioner.
