ENERGY AUDIT SERVICES

As heating and cooling costs increase each year, investing in the building envelope of your home will pay dividends both winter and summer. Not only will it save you money, it will improve your home’s comfort and durability.

A Macfarlane Homes energy audit is the first step in assessing where your home may be losing energy and what measures can be taken to make it more energy efficient. For example, small drafts and cold spots in a home indicate that cold air is entering in winter. We use blower door testing, infrared cameras and smoke tracers to measure leaks in your home’s building envelope and reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation. These small cracks in the exterior walls of your home add up to big energy loses. Weatherizing your home by sealing these cracks and adding insulation if necessary can make a significant difference in your energy bills. Please call the office for more information on home energy audits.
