What Is An Energy Audit?
An Energy Audit is the first step you can take to determine the true energy efficiency of your home, particularly your heating and cooling system, but remember, audits alone don’t save energy. You need to implement the recommended improvements. Following your home energy audit, Henderson’s can provide information about home improvement projects to enhance energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and increase comfort.
How It Works
An Energy Audit consists of using a calibrated blower door to determine the air infiltration rate of your home.
A blower door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, which allows outside air to flow in through all unsealed cracks and openings. This is where your heating and cooling dollars are escaping. By locating and sealing these unwanted openings you could save hundreds of dollars a year in heating and cooling costs.
