Understanding how your home is performing is the first step in helping your home perform better. And the better your home performs, the healthier it will be! At Total Home Performance we treat every home just like our own and help discover ways to become more energy efficient, comfortable, healthy, and safe.
Our Energy Audit Process
When assessing your home with an energy audit, our certified home energy auditors start from the inside out. And what is more “inside” than talking to the humans that live in your home? Each energy audit starts with a homeowner interview, and then we work our way through the following diagnostic process:
-
Homeowner interview
-
Attic and insulation review
-
Interior examination
-
Blower door testing and thermal imaging
-
Basement and crawlspace review
-
A comprehensive report of findings
-
A prioritized list of recommendations
Recommending the Right Upgrades for Your Home
Shortly after the completion of your home energy audit, Total Home Performance will provide a complete audit report with pictures and recommended energy-saving strategies. These strategies often include increasing home comfort and efficiency through upgrades like:
-
Attic insulation
-
Exterior wall insulation
-
Basement insulation
-
Crawl space encapsulation
-
Crawl space repair
-
Duct sealing
-
Heating and cooling system upgrades
-
Whole home ventilation
-
And more
All of these services can help make your home more healthy, safe, comfortable, energy efficient, and durable. Finding the right combination of upgrades for you is what an energy audit is for!
