Home Energy Audits

To make our whole house approach to home performance effective, we evaluate the entire home, all of its systems and how they interact with one another. Once we have a full picture of your specific home and all of the different elements that help it function, we can properly assess what needs to change. If you want to replace a window because it is old and the room is drafty, we might replace the window, but first we analyze the situation to ensure that the window is the root of your problem. If all you need is a quick air sealing upgrade around the window, we will make that improvement rather than recommend an expensive window replacement.

Helping your home perform

At Analytic Energy, our priority is making your home perform at the highest level possible to provide you with optimal comfort for less money. We look at the following items to evaluate your home’s current and past performance and provide targeted solutions:

• We start by assessing your specific concerns and the problems that typically produce similar complaints.

• We then assess your entire home’s leakiness. A common cause for discomfort is a leaky building envelope (the barrier between your living spaces and the outdoors). We use Blower Door tests to pressurize your home, identify how much air is escaping per hour and pinpoint the location of leaks.

• If you have past bills or energy usage reports available, it is helpful for us to review that information and see where you could be using energy more efficiently.

• We assess your thermal and air barrier alignment. Essentially, we check to see if your thermal barriers (insulation) and air barriers (air sealing measures) are working together as a unit to provide optimal comfort and efficiency.

• We conduct Combustion Appliance Zone Testing to ensure that your appliances are both safe and efficient.

• If requested, we can also perform Infrared Diagnostic Testing on your home’s building envelope to assess the effectiveness of your insulation profile.
