Have you resigned yourself to paying more in utility costs and just adjusting the thermostat to keep your home as comfortable as you can? High utility bills and comfort levels weren’t an issue before, so what’s happened? For that, you’ll need a professional home energy audit to find out. Many homeowners don’t even realize their homes are wasting energy through doors and windows that are working inefficiently, or small cracks in the walls.
When a professional comes into your home to do an energy audit, they’ll walk through each room of your home and conduct energy assessments. Some assessments include a blower door test or a thermographic scan. Making the energy upgrades identified in your audit could save you up to 5 to 30%. Other benefits include:
– Lower Energy Bills
– Improved Comfort
– Improved Air Quality
– Better Understanding of Energy Usage
If you think your home is already at peak energy efficiency, you should still have periodic audits that may find issues that you may not be aware of. Finding small issues, like a poorly insulated window, could be part of hidden problems that add up to make your home less energy efficient.
Any issues that are found during an energy audit will help you prioritize your repairs, so you’ll know what needs fixed now, and what can wait a bit longer if finances are an issue.
An energy audit will help stabilize temperatures in your home, making it more comfortable. It will also improve air quality by finding areas that have drafts so you can eliminate them.
How To Prepare For An Energy Audit
Before your energy audit appointment there are some things you’ll need to do to prepare:
– Make a list of existing problems you’re aware of
– Have a summary of your annual energy bill
– Let the auditor know the average thermostat setting for each season
– Tell them how many people live in the home
– Let them know if all rooms are in use, or if some are closed off during certain seasons.
Is An Energy Audit Worth The Cost?
When you’re scheduling your regular home maintenance tasks, an energy audit should be on the list. When you think about the cost, keep in mind that an energy audit is an excellent return on investment. By keeping on top of any energy efficiency issues, you’ll save money in the long run, reduce your carbon footprint, and keep your home at an ideal comfort level.

The only thing is the fix rate to come over after business hours is rather expensive but sometimes beggars can’t be choosers and I’m glad someone is willing to come after hours here at the Lake when every company is booked up for days. Overall very satisfied. This is the second time I used their services and they have been very competent so far.
What a great company. Bobby and crew absolutely do a great job for my clients! On the electrical side of their business. These guys are on time available, communicate, and can handle any job I can through at them. See the attached in progress pictures of a current job. I look forward to sharing the finished picture in a few weeks.
A+ job guys
Reading reviews for a business is an important factor in choosing who to use and I HIGHLY recommend Superior! From beginning to end this was a great experience. Starting with prompt responses, same day service, timely arrival, thoroughness, knowledgeable, and personable. Brandon was a joy and provided peace of mind in having resolved our issue. Great people and great service!
