When was the last time you inspected your energy bills? If you’re like many Americans, you may have noticed your costs increasing. To lower your energy costs and reduce energy consumption, consider having an energy audit conducted at your home. Below are 4 key reasons an energy audit is a great option for you this Winter:
1. Identify Inefficiencies: The primary objective of a home energy audit is to identify sources of energy efficiency throughout the home. This can include nearly anything from inefficient heating and air conditioning systems to appliances that are using too much energy. Finding inefficiencies throughout your home can help you identify potential areas of improvement as you strive to make your home a more energy-conscious place.
2. Prioritize Energy Efficient Repairs: In addition to suggesting areas for improvement, your energy audit report will also include information on which energy inefficiencies are costing you the most money. This will help you determine which repairs you should make first, and will lower your energy costs more quickly.
3. Lower Heating and Cooling Costs: One of the biggest components of your overall energy costs is the amount of energy used to run your HVAC system. By identifying inefficiencies within your home’s heating and cooling system, you’ll decrease the amount of energy it takes to keep your home comfortable. Potential issues can include damaged or inefficient furnaces or air conditioning units, air duct leaks, and more.
4. Save Money: Most importantly, an energy audit will help you save a ton of money. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that energy audits help homeowners improve their home’s energy efficiency by up to 30%. That’s hundreds of dollars a year in savings!
