How can I get a comprehensive energy audit?
Having a comprehensive energy audit opens you up to thousands of dollars in rebates and tax incentives available to you by your utility companies as well as the local, state, and federal government. The nominal cost of a comprehensive energy audit can be more than accounted for by a single rebate available from Consumers Energy or DTE. For example, if you were planning on purchasing a new furnace, we would get you an additional $400 rebate, which alone would pay for more than the audit. See the rebate charts on this site for all of the savings you can take advantage of.
How does the energy audit work?
Your home is comprised of numerous electrical, mechanical, structural, and general building components, all of which work together as a system. If the components that make up the system are not sized, adjusted, balanced, and ultimately optimized properly, the overall system becomes inefficient due to wasted energy.
Our engineer’s utilize highly advanced/sophisticated equipment and energy modeling tools to conduct a holistic system approach to determine your home’s energy profile. Once this is determined and the problematic areas have been identified, we will work with you to identify improvements and make recommendations, which result in significant energy savings once implemented. Additionally, the comfort, living experience, and overall quality of your home will improve measurably.
