Energy Audit….not a bad thing.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Best ways for Santa Clarita Home Owners to save Energy?  CR Construction is an Proud EnergyStar partner that offers Energy Audits on Commercial and Residential property Owners.  Lets face it .. we all dread giving money to the utility companies.  With some quick  and inexpensive fixes around the house you can invest in your future, and pay less in monthly utilities.

How do I recover hundreds or even thousands of lost energy dollars without spending a fortune?

Home Energy Savings starts with a Thermal Home Energy Survey (audit).  This inexpensive scan pays dividends in monthly savings once you locate the leaks in your homes energy envelope.  Your home energy report will come complete with digital photographs, information specific to your home, and numerous low cost ways you can improve your monthly savings.  Rebates and Grant sources are provided as well.   The report will prioritize your energy savings that will pay you back in the shortest amount of time.

Carl Reese Construction uses a hi-tech thermal imaging camera to locate:  Loose duct work, missing or compromised insulation, electrical issues, costly home energy drafts, hidden water leaks or mold sources.   We have over 17 years experience, Proud EnergyStar Partner, and continued education includes Certifications at SoCal Edison © CTAC School on Energy Efficiency, Rebates, Lighting, and Title 24 Duct Leak Testing.  As well as Certified NACHI Home Inspector, Certified IAC2 Air Quality and Mold Testing.  Start Saving Immediately!  Often times these items can be corrected by the home owner and $9.00 worth of foil tape.   The US Dept of Energy says “every home including new construction should be thermally scanned.”   Thermal Imaging sees what the naked eye cannot see.   Infrared scanning sees temperature not light, so even the smallest duct leak can be detected with a Certified Individual operating the themal imager.  Leaking Ducts Waste Money!!  Unseen leaking ducts can cost you hundereds of dollars worth of lost energy each year.  Simple duct fixes can bring that 20 to 35 % loss back into your pocket.  If you have a $400. electric bill in the summer, that means $80.00 could be lost in attics or crawl spaces every month, as that conditoned air leaks into uncondition spaces of the home.  These corrections are simple and not to difficult to repair.  In my opinion,  CFL’s and Duct leak sealing are the two greatest increases in substancial energy saving you’ll see.   Now some would say insulation, but remember we are talking low cost , and quick returns.   Insulation I would rank 3rd or 4th.  Depending on the amount of airleaks in the home.
