When you go to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned or go to get your car serviced at the dealership, part of the reason you go is to get an expert opinion in assessing whether everything is healthy and in working order. The same concept can be applied to your home.
What is a Home Efficiency Audit?
The purpose of an energy audit is to assess how much energy your home currently uses and uncover which measures can be taken to improve its efficiency. A home efficiency audit from Hill Country Insulation uses empirical data gathering techniques like the blower door test and infrared thermal imaging to uncover areas of inefficiency. After a thorough inspection and testing, our team then compiles a list of recommendations to improve your home’s energy efficiency, health and comfort.
Potential Efficiency Recommendations
After an expert technician from Hill Country Insulation has audited your home, we will provide you with suggestions for improvements. Potential recommendations for upgrades may include:
Switching to high-efficiency HVAC units
Adding insulation
Weatherstripping
Installing a radiant barrier
