What Does a Home Energy Assessment Include?

At Allied Energy Efficiency Experts, we believe that all of the customers we serve in and around Cherry Hill and Manalapan, NJ deserve to live in healthy, efficient homes. Unfortunately, many homes in the area were built 15+ years ago and are saddled with issues such as poor insulation, a lack of air sealing and unhealthy indoor air. It’s not always easy to tell at face value whether or not a home was built properly, and many people spend decades living in homes that are far from being efficient in any way.

If you’re interested in taking a closer look at how your home is performing, it all starts with a home energy assessment from the team at Allied Energy Efficiency Experts.

What is a Home Energy Assessment?

Most people are familiar with the concept of bringing their car to the mechanic on a regular basis. We do this to ensure that our vehicles never suffer from excess wear and tear, as ignoring oil changes or not replacing brake pads will inevitably lead to total failure. The same concept applies to our homes, even if we don’t tend to realize the need.

A home energy assessment is like a trip to the mechanic for your home. It allows us to perform a number of diagnostic tests and visual inspections, all of which lead to targeted recommendations for taking home performance to the next level. For many homeowners, it’s also the first time they’ve ever had a clear look at exactly how well-built their homes actually are—knowledge that can be worth its weight in gold when it comes to making home energy upgrades.

The Energy Assessment Process

Our home energy assessment is a complete and thorough process that includes inspection of the following areas and features of the home:

• Basements
• Attics
• Crawl spaces
• Walls
• Major appliances
• Ventilation systems
• Heating and cooling systems
  
• Lighting systems
• …and more

So don’t just assume that your home is performing the way it should be—find out for sure with a home energy assessment.
