High Performance Homes offers a $100 home energy audit for qualified BGE customer and accesses where you are exactly losing energy in your home. The process includes a door blower test and safety testing of your appliances. You will get a detailed report about every area that needs to be improved and we will offers solutions. After we install the recommended solution, we will test it to make sure it is working properly.
Seal Air Leaks
Many times tiny air leaks in your pipes and around your doors and windows are the many causes of energy loss in your home. After an energy audit, you will know exactly where the leaks are in your home. If you have leaks around your windows and doors, the common solution will be to add caulking or weather-stripping. Depending on the age and condition of your window, vinyl windows might be the best solution because they have the best insulation on the market.
Focus On Your Heating System
You want to make sure your heating system, whether it is a furnace or a heating pump, is working properly, especially during the winter. During your energy audit, you will discover if your current heating system is effective and what alterations need to be made.
