How Well Does Your Home Use Energy?

Home Energy

When the wind is blowing outside, do your curtains or blinds move even though the windows are shut?

Do your rooms still feel hot during the summer even when the air conditioner is running?

During the winter, do you feel cold air seeping into your home?

 

Over 65 percent of U.S. homes are currently under-insulated, not insulated, and/or leaking an excessive amount of air and energy. If yours is one of those homes, you are wasting energy by leaking warm air in the winter and cold air in the summer.

Fortunately, South Shore Heating & Cooling offers a helpful solution: a home energy audit.

Our company is accredited by the Building Performance Institute (BPI), the leading developer of technical standards for home performance and weatherization retrofit work. When we do an energy audit, we perform an extensive battery of tests over the course of one-to-three hours.

During your home energy audit, we will inspect your home’s insulation and air sealing, the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment, the efficiency of your lighting, and any health or safety issues. We will then present you with a detailed report you can use as a blueprint for your energy conservation campaign.

There are many benefits of a home energy audit:

  • Lower energy bills

  • Increased home comfort

  • Smaller carbon footprint

  • Access to rebates and incentives for energy-efficient upgrades
