Energy Ratings
A home is the biggest single purchase that
most people will make.
It is the place you come home to after a hard day's work, it is the place
your family sleeps, and it is the cornerstone of ... Just like anything
else in life it may have its quirks: a leaky window, zones of varying
temperatures, some malodors, a dank feel or energy bills that rival mortgage
payments. There is no reason that your home should be uncomfortable, after
all it is your abode.
Whatever the problem may be we can help. An energy rating reaches beyond
looking at how much energy one's home uses. It views the house as many
different systems that work in unison to provide you, the homeowner, with
the comfort you expect. For instance a drafty room can affect how hard
your HVAC system has to work to keep the house cool, it can create pressure
differentials that can lead to moisture intrusion, the back drafting of
combustion appliances and even the drawing in of dangerous gasses from
places like the garage. If one component of the home fails, it will diminish
the efficiency of the other components of the home and inevitably affect
the comfort of the home's occupants while driving the energy costs up.
A energy efficiency rating will pinpoint the weak spots of the home. The
diagnostic procedures that we will perform will help us locate hidden
leaks, determine critical improvements, determine future improvements,
and prioritize by cost effectiveness. By improving the overall efficiency
of the home you can qualify for up to 13,000 in federal and state .
