Residential Energy Assessments

Learn what you’re missing with Home Energy Assessments

A home energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. Without an initial home energy assessment homeowners may spend time and money putting solar panels on a home that is not efficient and looses energy. An assessment will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time.

A certified Allterra specialist in building performance and renewable energy will thoroughly inspect home systems, including heating and cooling; insulation and air leaks; causes of indoor air pollution, including mold and mildew; water quality, and energy efficiency of appliances, and more. During the assessment, you can pinpoint where your house is losing energy. An assessment may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. You can perform a simple energy assessment yourself, or have a professional energy auditor carry out a more thorough assessment.
