Understanding an Energy Audit
An energy audit is the first step toward making your home or business more energy-efficient. It helps identify where energy is being lost and which improvements will have the greatest impact on reducing energy waste and lowering utility bills. This process also qualifies you for rebates and incentives from programs like Efficiency Vermont and Vermont Gas (VGS), making energy upgrades more affordable.
What Happens During an Energy Audit?
The audit typically takes 2 to 4 hours and includes a detailed inspection of your property’s insulation, heating and cooling systems, appliances, and overall energy performance. Key areas of assessment include basements, attics, windows, doors, and crawl spaces, where energy loss is most common.
We use advanced tools to detect problem areas:
Infrared cameras reveal heat loss, air leaks, and moisture issues hidden behind walls and ceilings.
Blower door tests measure air leakage by lowering indoor pressure, helping locate drafts and weak points in your home’s thermal envelope.
Heating system evaluations check the performance of your furnace or boiler and ensure efficient heat distribution.
After the audit, you’ll receive a customized report outlining recommended upgrades to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance comfort.
