Residential Energy Efficiency Audits

Energy efficiency is important for so many reasons. Global increases in energy efficiency reduce pollution and have the potential to reduce the costs of nearly all commodities. In most countries energy for home use comes from coal or other sources which cause a great deal of pollution. While the global community has made incredible strides to improve air quality and reduce pollution, each individual has the power to contribute. In the home, energy efficiency saves you money and reduces your carbon footprint. Even if you care very little about the environment, saving money is a no-brainer. As you heat or cool your home, the outside temperature reduces or increases the internal temperature. Depending on how well insulated your home is, this could have a small or great impact on your energy efficiency. PropertyExam offers energy efficiency audits which evaluate your energy usage (natural gas & electrical) and identifies possible areas of improvement. We use thermal imaging equipment to identify leaks in insulation, broken window seals, and other areas where your home is wasting energy. If you have a large home or use a lot of light bulbs (especially outdoor lights) you may be wasting money on inefficient light bulbs without even knowing it. Our energy efficiency audits will evaluate the heat signature of your home to identify the exact areas of waste.

Commercial Energy Efficiency Audits

Operation costs are a huge factor in the success of a business. By lowering energy costs you can effectively earn more money each year as a business owner. Not only are there tax credits and immediate financial benefits of operating at optimal efficiency but there are long term financial benefits as well. Identifying areas of potential improvement is one of the biggest perks to our commercial energy audits. Whether we identify more efficient lighting options such as LED lights or if we find heat loss due to poor insulation, there is a good possibility that fixing these issues will save you a great deal on operation costs over the course of years of business.
