Home Energy Audits

A comprehensive home energy assessment, also referred to as a home energy audit, offers invaluable insights into your home's energy consumption, comfort, and safety levels. By evaluating your energy usage, identifying inefficiencies, and prioritizing solutions, an assessment helps you save energy and enhance your home's comfort. It's a crucial first step before embarking on energy-saving upgrades or integrating renewable energy systems. Our professional assessments entail a thorough examination of every aspect of your home, often employing advanced tools like blower doors, infrared cameras, gas leak detectors, and moisture meters. These assessments provide a detailed understanding of your home's energy profile, empowering you to make informed decisions for a more efficient and comfortable living space.

There are many things that a homeowner can do on their own to help save energy as well as make the home more comfortable. If you’re able and willing we will show you how to do these things on your own. But we do have a great group of professionals that we can recommend you to when its outside of our scope of work.

Rebates and Tax Credits

Energy efficiency is right now at the forefront at most homeowners thoughts when they continue to see such increase in their utility bills. Thankfully, PSO, OGNE and OMG have some really substantial rebates to help offset so much of the cost regarding heating and air, insulation, and even ceiling, the house up tighter. PSO rebates can go as high as $10,000 for a home depending on what all services you select. OMG will offer up to $2450 on high-efficiency furnaces and hot water heaters. And the government is offering up to $3200 in tax credits on insulation, heat pumps, high-efficiency furnaces, and high-efficiency water heaters.

Indoor Air Quality

We often associate air pollution with outdoor risks, but indoor environments can also harbor pollutants that affect our health. Smoke, vapors, mold, and chemicals found in paints, furnishings, and cleaners can all degrade indoor air quality.

Given that most individuals spend the majority of their time indoors, buildings significantly impact overall well-being. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, whether at home, school, work, places of worship, or gyms.

With the increase in energy homeowners are now taking measures to make the home as tight as possible. However with a tighter home there is more concern, with both short- and long-term exposure to indoor pollution linked to various health issues, including respiratory diseases, heart conditions, cognitive impairments, and cancer. For instance, the World Health Organization reports that 3.8 million people worldwide die annually due to illnesses stemming from harmful indoor air pollution caused by unclean cookstoves and fuel.

Certain demographics may be disproportionately affected. Children, older adults, individuals with preexisting health conditions, Native Americans, and those in low socioeconomic households often face heightened exposure to indoor pollutants.
