Complete Energy Audits.
Chances are, you're spending much more on utility bills than you need to be. A Simply Sustain Energy Audit gives you the opportunity to fix that. One of our experienced and certified building analysts will visit your home, small business or workplace. We use state-of-the-art equipment including Blower Doors, Infrared Cameras, Combustion Analyzers and Duct Blowers to measure your building's performance in heating, cooling, insulation and moisture.
Our BPI-certified analysts perform diagnostics that can reveal the source of problems such as hot or cold rooms, mold/mildew or moisture, unsafe levels of carbon monoxide (caused by mechanical equipment), or air leakage from your garage, ventilation and drafts. We write a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for a work scope that can make you more comfortable, while substantially lowering your utility bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
Our Complete Energy Audit calculates how well your home works.
- We use blower doors, infrared and old-fashioned measuring.
- We find leaking ducts, air infiltration and faulty seals.
- We identify mold, carbon monoxide and other air quality issues.
- We craft a comprehensive written report. (And you can actually understand it.)
- We offer targeted recommendations to improve your comfort and save energy.
- We gladly send copies to our contracting partners (and any contractors you’d like).
Our audit typically takes three hours for a single family home; times will vary, depending on the size and complexity of your building. Performing an Energy Audit may qualify you for incentives, rebates, and low-interest loans that you can apply to your energy-efficiency improvements.
Who can use an Simply Sustain Energy Audit?
- Homeowners. Energy Audits are for anyone that has a power bill; everyone should enjoy lower utility bills and a more comfortable home. Use rebates and tax incentives to fund your audit and energy improvements—and live better on your fixed income.
- Business Owners. Help your business compete by buttoning up your buildings. Making them more efficient will save you real energy and money. We can tell you how, and our partners can tell you how much improvements will cost.
