Are you looking for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce your utility bills? At Brian's Heating & Cooling, Inc., we offer home energy audit in Fresno that can help you do just that. The average home wastes a huge amount of energy due to things like air leaks, lack of insulation, old windows, and inefficient appliances. For instance, studies have shown that as much as 20% to 30% of a typical home’s heating and cooling is wasted due to these issues. Older water heaters, washers, dryers, and other appliances can also be a major source of wasted energy. Having an energy audit performed is always a smart financial decision as it can help eliminate these sources of waste and ensure that your home is more energy-efficient.
Home Energy Audit Team in Fresno
A home energy audit is the easiest way to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce your carbon footprint. During this audit, a trained technician will examine your home from top to bottom and inside and out to determine your home’s overall efficiency and identify any problems that are contributing to energy waste.
This starts with making sure that your HVAC equipment is properly maintained and functioning at its peak efficiency level. A furnace or air conditioner that isn’t functioning properly will generally have to work much harder to keep your home heated or cooled, which results in greatly increased energy usage. Even something as seemingly minor as an old or faulty thermostat or a clogged air filter can drastically impact your HVAC system’s efficiency.
In addition to checking your heating and cooling equipment, a home energy audit also involves inspecting your home for any of these other common sources of energy waste.
- Windows and doors that are poorly sealed
- Ductwork leaks
- Inefficient or malfunctioning appliances
- Lack of insulation in walls or the attic
- Heat gain caused by excessive sunlight
Depending on the results of your energy audit, there may be a number of major and minor steps you can take to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Sealing up any leaks in your ductwork, adding extra insulation to your attic, or replacing your outdated appliances can all have a major impact. Similarly, resealing around your windows and doors or replacing your old single-pane windows can also help prevent air leaks and energy waste. Even something as simple as making sure to keep your windows covered during the hottest parts of the day can make a major difference by limiting the amount of heat gain your home receives from sunlight.
