Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step in creating home energy savings with a Home Energy Audit from New England Energy Audit. Can you afford to continue to ignore the obvious, energy prices are skyrocketing out of control - once again. You swore the last time this happened you would do what it takes to make your home more energy efficient, in order to help control the cost of heating your home. Did you? If not call today to schedule a Home Energy Audit. It is time to be proactive, protect yourself from high energy costs. Oil prices are fast approaching the $100.00/barrel price again, but you already know that. You are undoubtedly painfully aware every time you fill your car or worse yet fill your oil tank. Along with the increase in oil and gas prices, so are the prices of many other products that depend on petroleum. Food prices are on the increase as the cost to ship that food increases. For this reason and others, such as comfort within your home, there is no better time to have a Home Energy Audit performed. Even with oil prices on the increase you can decrease what you spend on heating fuel as you make your home more energy efficient. Do not wait until we see $140.00/barrel prices as we did a few short years ago. Everyone feels the effect of high heating bills. Instead of spending more and more money on foreign oil to heat your home, use that same money to improve your home’s energy efficiency. A Home Energy Audit will show you where and how you can produce those energy savings. Why a Home or Residential Energy Audit? Department of Energy recommends a Home or Residential Energy Audit as the first step in saving on your home heating and electric costs. No matter how you view today's high oil prices, whether they are truly a hardship or you are simply annoyed over paying such a high price - there is a way to lower those costs. Making the correct home improvements, will not only lower those bills, but you can improve your home's value at the same time. The key is making the right home improvements, not simply shooting from the hip. In many cases it may not be a huge investment, but until you know and have the correct path to follow, you are probably spending good money after bad Click here for today's home heating prices throughout New England. When the recommendations of the Home or Residential Energy Audit are followed:
You do not have to make all the improvements at once. We present you with a list showing where and what improvements will give you the greatest payback and over what period of time. Start with the shortest payback and work your way down the list. It may not all happen in one heating season, but each and every improvement will make a difference. What is a Professional Home Energy Audit? Thorough Inspection of Your Home - Basement to Attic Blower Door Test - Tests for Air Leakage Infrared Camera Examination (Thermal Image)-see our sample thermal images Reported Estimated Savings When choosing an Energy Audit, experience counts!! With the recent "energy crisis", many new energy auditors entered the field. No two houses are the same and it takes years of training, both on the job and continuing education to properly assess what's is going on in your home. We have never met a text book house. What goes on in one part of your home, affects another part of your home. More importantly, do not rely on the big box home improvement stores. The people they send to your home are there to sell! They are not trained energy auditors and are giving incorrect information and a big price tag. Any company or organization that comes to your home and only does a "visual" assessment can no more properly assess your home, than a doctor can assess a broken bone without an x-ray. Organizations such as MassSAVE are going into peoples homes and just looking around, sure it is free, but you definitely get what you pay for. Many times the objectives of some is to sell, sell, sell.... If Blower Door Testing and Infrared examination (Thermal Image) is not done - frankly you are wasting your precious time. Do not be talked into windows, doors, insulation, heating systems, etc without a qualified, unbiased expert guiding you. An example, is windows, 9 out 10 people do not need new windows as the payback is too excessive for the very little bit of extra R-value you will gain. Quite often it is due to air leakage around the window's frame, which can only be detected using Blower Doors and Infrared. The classic chasing good money after bad! These "free energy audits" can turn out to be very costly without good results in the end. The average cost for heating oil is $3.06/gallon or $841.00 for a full tank. If you use 1,000 gallons/yr. which is $3,006.00 annually. Saving 20% saves $600.00 per year. That is $600.00 you could spend making your home more energy efficient and at the same time increasing your home's property value. By the way, 1,000 gallons of heating oil is not normal. Homeowners in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are especially aware of the hardship rising energy costs create. We are increasingly aware of the measures we must take, from replacing old appliances with Energy Star appliances to adding insulation Unfortunately quite often this just isn't enough, because you are targeting these items without any real direction. ENERGY LOST=MONEY LOST ENERGY SAVED=MONEY SAVED!! The equation is really is that simple!! Now is the time to do battle against rising home energy costs with a home energy audit! The heat is up and the cost of heating your home is skyrocketing once again. You do not need to lower the thermostat and be uncomfortable in order to keep the costs down.
