Energy Auditing

Energy Auditing

• Analyze your last 12 months of utility bills to set a baseline for your future savings and understand where your money is being spent. We will also provide you with a baseline of what an average bill should be for your household. This data also provides a basis for our Return on Investment (ROI) calculations.
• Detailed interior and exterior building material check (ensures the home building materials are in good condition). The auditor will identify all areas for improvement with the building's shell and areas inside the home.
• Combustion appliance safety checks (furnace, hot water heater, boiler, stove, oven, etc.) to ensure you and your family are safe from harmful gases (i.e. carbon monoxide). This is our Top Priority!
• Combustion analysis to identify the operational efficiency of your home appliances. This testing will also ensure all combustion appliances are properly exhausting all of the harmful gases and are operating at their advertised efficiency level. Our goal is to ensure you and your family is not being exposed to harmful gases.
• Complete detailed check of all HVAC related equipment (furnace, boiler, AC unit, ducting, etc). We will identify if the products are running efficiently and recommend replacement only when needed.
• Air flow Inspection to ensure air flow rates and the temperature coming out of your supplies and exhaust fans are optimal. This is one of the many ways to diagnose hot/cold rooms.
• Diagnosis of any trouble areas you may have in your home (e.g. hot or cold rooms, damp areas, leaks/drafts, electrical usage, ventilation, etc.).
• Complete insulation inspection to identify your effective level of insulation and suggest upgrades if needed. All areas are inspected (attic, floor, crawl space, walls, rim joists, knee walls, etc.).
• Blower Door Testing to identify how leaky your home is. Before this testing your auditor will calculate the target level for your home. He will then run the test to identify your level of leakage. This information will provide us a baseline to start sealing your home. It will also easily identify all the leaks you may have in your home.
• Detailed thermal imaging inspection to find air leakage and trouble areas. This will take place while the blower door is running. AEE will utilize state of the art thermal imaging technology to identify air leakage and weak areas for the customer. We also provide numerous pictures in your report from this testing.
• Within a maximum of three days of your audit's completion, you will receive a detailed report of our findings. The report will suggest approximately 15-25 measures that you may choose to implement. Each measure will describe the exact task, estimated annual savings, cost, a return on investment time frame, utility and tax rebate information, and our recommendation. Our goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive energy audit possible. We will not be satisfied until you are saving money every month on your utility bills and you have received every possible rebate/incentive for the work we are doing for you.
