Energy Savings Begin with a Home-Energy Audit
Almost painless, a home-energy audit can reduce energy costs and improve comfort
Home-energy audits can reveal more than just wasted energy—when deciphered correctly, they can determine if a home’s systems are working holistically. On this audit of a Greek Revival located in Port Jefferson, NY, the basement burner is checked for efficiency and operability, an infrared camera looks deep into the uninsulated wall cavities, and most surprisingly of all, a blower-door test reveals that a set of built-ins in a bedroom are the smoking gun of this home’s energy loss.
