Home Energy Inspections conducts Certified Home Energy Audits to determine the most cost effective ways to conserve energy in your home.

To begin with, we will conduct a Blower Door Test. A Blower Door Test is a device that simulates a 20 mile per hour wind storm outside your home. This helps determine where the leaks are. Then we can decide how to fix them.

We examine the windows, doors, seals, furnace, hot water heater, attic insulation & wall insulation, and ventilation.

We will make recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of the home and can make recommendations of contractors we work closely with.

We also provide infrared scanning. Infrared is very useful to help locate poorly installed or missing insulation. Together with a blower door it is very useful in locating air infiltration.  

You could save 30% to 70% of your energy costs!

Not sure you want another loan to pay for the improvements? Ask us how to qualify for an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) or an Energy Improvement Mortgage (EIM) you could finance your homes energy improvements over 20 or 30 years.

Example of how an Energy Improvement Mortgage works:

 Small 3 bedroom ranch, 10 to 30 years old, heating with propane. After completing an energy audit we recommended a new heating system, identified a few air leaks, increased the attic insualtion, and improved the attic vetalation. The costs came in around $5,000 and were fianced using a EIM. The monthly increase in their mortgage payment would be about $17, and their projected energy savings is an additional $720 a year or $60 a month.  The owners closed on their new mortgage, the monies for energy improvements were put in escrow until the improvements are completed. When the homeowner and energy auditor sign off on the completed improvements the lender is notified and sends the contractors a check.

Call us today to find out how to take the pain out of propane!
