Energy Audits
Why should I get an Energy Audit carried out?
It’s a good idea to get an energy audit carried out on your house to assess heat loss through roof, walls, ground floor, windows, and your space heating and domestic hot water system. The home energy audit will highlight the energy loss through these parts of the home. The energy audit will advise on practical choices and solutions that will improve the energy efficiency of your home.
Recommendations made by a qualified energy assessor will ensure that you only install systems and technologies that are suitable to your home.
What are the benefits of a Home Energy Audit?
1. In an environment of rising energy prices, it is now more beneficial than ever to be aware of the level of energy consumed by your home. This knowledge can be used to save money as you reduce your energy consumption.
2. The cost of the energy audit can be recouped quickly through adopting some of the no-cost and low-cost measures outlined in the accompanying advisory report. Implementing some of the high-cost measures can have even greater benefits over time.
3. The knowledge gained will build energy awareness in your family and home.
What does the Energy Audit cover?
Electrical Usage
- areas where you are using electricity unnecessarily
Window and Doors
- draught stripping
- structural analysis
Ventilation
- analysis of current system – Natural or Mechanical Ventilation
- ways to improve the efficiency of this system
Lighting
- percentage of low energy lighting throughout your home
Insulation
- checking of insulation standards in your home
Space and Water Heating systems
- assessing the efficiency of your current systems
- analysing the hot water cylinder and plumbing insulation
Each of the above areas is analysed and examined for defects. National Energy Assessors also highlight areas of improvement. It is essential that all of the above are working to the optimum levels as this will ensure that as little energy as possible is being used.
What then?
