As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system(s) can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort. However, inadequate air sealing or insufficient insulation could be the cause of significant energy loss. No matter how efficient your heating and cooling system is, if your home is not properly sealed and insulated, you will not be as comfortable and your system will have to work harder, costing you more money in the end.
Did you know that the average duct system leaks 30% of your conditioned air? Duct leakage causes severe indoor air quality problems, and increases energy use. An energy audit helps to ensure that your system delivers the heated or cooled air to all the rooms of your home. We will evaluate your duct system to identify leaks using a duct blaster test. In some instances, we may advise you to repair, replace or add new ductwork.
Certainly, choosing energy-efficient products is a step in the right direction. However, making sure your equipment is properly sized and installed are essential elements to ensure that your new system performs at optimal efficiency and comfort. Whether you are looking for recommendations about purchasing energy-efficient equipment, in need of quality installation, HVAC maintenance, or ways to make your heating and cooling system operate more efficiently, Energy Check’s comprehensive perspective can help you make the best decision.
