Comprehensive Home Energy Audits To Pinpoint Energy Drainers 

Energy drainers are the villains of any family on a mission to comfortable, affordable living. Energy drainers may include anything from poor insulation to leaks in your air ducts, forcing you to waste money each month as you attempt to maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Our comprehensive home energy audit calculates the energy your home uses to pinpoint wasted expenses. 

Common energy drainers we often find in Houston homes include the following:

• Air leaks: Your conditioned air can leak out of your home from cracks in your door or window frames, poorly sealed ventilation systems, air duct leaks, and more. One small crack in your air duct could leak as much as 30% of your conditioned air, sacrificing your comfort and energy costs. 
• Inefficient appliances: Older stoves, water heaters, ovens, dishwashers, and other appliances do not operate as efficiently as modern units. You may simply have one appliance that’s spiking your costs each month.
• Outdated HVAC systems: As with appliances, older HVAC systems do not run efficiently, especially when various components malfunction. If you’re interested in saving money each month, we can upgrade your units to high-efficiency models. 
• Inadequate insulation: Your home should be like the cabin of an airplane with thick insulation sealing you from the outside environment. Without proper insulation, you cannot regulate a comfortable interior temperature. 

Our expert crew uses superior testing methods to pinpoint energy drainers. For example, we can conduct the blower door test to identify where air leaks in or out of your home or heat load testing to check whether or not your HVAC units can handle your home’s heating needs.

Delivering First-Class Comfort Solutions

We believe that every customer deserves the luxury of first-class comfort when relaxing at home. We deliver customized comfort solutions based on your home energy audit. Your professional energy auditor will assess factors like your home’s insulation levels, air sealing, ductwork integrity, and HVAC performance to identify improvement solutions. 

Ultimately, we want to enhance your home’s comfort by promoting consistent temperatures efficiently. To do so, our team looks for ways to eliminate hot or cold spots by sealing energy drainers or upgrading appliances and HVAC units so you can enjoy efficient and effective heating and cooling. 

After completing the audit, we’ll sit down with you to explain all of our experience-backed, honest recommendations for improving your energy efficiency. We may recommend repairing your ductwork, installing new windows, upgrading your AC, or simply changing a couple of air filters. Feel free to ask as many questions as you’d like, as we’re here to help you master your home’s efficiency.

How You Can Save Money With Our Cost-Effective Energy Upgrades

Buying a new air conditioner or furnace can seem like a big cost upfront, but you need to consider the long-term investment. If our auditor recommends investing in energy-efficient upgrades, it’s because your current units are spiking your utility bills each month. By upgrading to high-efficiency models, you can enjoy significant monthly savings with far more suitable units that can meet your home’s heating and cooling demands. 

The savings you achieve with energy-efficient upgrades offset the initial investment over time and boost your property’s value when you’re ready to sell. You may even qualify for energy rebates by selecting specific high-efficiency units. 

Creating a Greener Future

Reducing wasted energy not only cuts costs but also helps you minimize your carbon footprint. By doing your part to lower your energy consumption, you can help decrease greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately contributing to environmental sustainability. As we work together to decrease our carbon footprint through energy efficiency audits and upgrades, we can create a cleaner, greener future for future generations.
