A Guide to Home Energy Audits and Improvements
A Guide to Home Energy Audits and Improvements By Johnson’s Insulation Understand Your Home's Energy Usage • A home energy audit offers an evaluation of your household's energy consumption patterns. It identifies areas of inefficiency and pinpoint possibilities for improvement. • By considering aspects such as insulation levels, air leakage, and appliance efficiency, the assessment provides a detailed view of your home's energy dynamics. Tailored Solutions for Efficiency • Following the audit, you receive a personalized roadmap outlining specific actions to enhance energy efficiency and comfort. • Recommendations are prioritized based on their potential impact, guiding homeowners toward the most effective measures for maximizing savings and comfort. Minimize Drafts and Air Leakage • Through whole-home air • By sealing gaps and cracks, sealing, the auditor addresses homeowners can significantly sources of air leakage and reduce energy loss and improve drafts. indoor comfort levels. Enhance Thermal Performance • Insulation plays a crucial role in preventing heat loss and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. • The auditor may suggest adding insulation to key areas such as the attic, foundation, or walls to optimize thermal resistance and reduce heating and cooling demands. Optimize HVAC Efficiency • Unsealed and uninsulated ducts can • By sealing and insulating ductwork in lead to significant energy losses and unconditioned spaces, homeowners can compromised system performance. enhance the efficiency of their heating and cooling systems, ensuring more effective air distribution throughout the home. Mitigate Moisture and Mold • Addressing internal moisture issues and • The auditor may recommend mold growth not only improves indoor air remediation strategies to quality but also safeguards the structural mitigate moisture-related integrity of the home. issues. Harnessing Modern Solutions Beyond traditional measures, the audit may suggest integrating modern, energy-efficient technologies into the home. From smart thermostats and LED lighting to ENERGY STAR appliances and solar PV systems, these innovations offer long-term energy savings and environmental benefits. THANKS! Do you have any questions?
