What Does a Home Energy Audit Include?
Your NJ Energy Audit will include:
- A thorough health and safety test including testing all combustion appliances such gas furnaces, water heaters and gas ovens. This includes a CO test (carbon monoxide), checking for gas leaks and an overall evaluation of the efficiency and general condition of all gas and main electrical appliances. In addition, the home is checked for possible mold and mildew problems.
- Measuring the insulation (R-values) throughout the different areas of your home, such as the attic, and checking for poor coverage areas, correct ventilation, and an overall assessment of any blow in insulation and/or fiberglass batts insulation
- Measuring your home’s air leakage rate with a Blower Door test to determine if air sealing is needed to improve the homes energy efficiency
- Review your past utility bills to determine the potential savings using an advanced NJ Home Performance with Energy Star computer modeling program
- Evaluate your lighting and appliances and making recommendations
- Provide you information and documentation on any rebates available from NJ or any federal tax rebates you could qualify for based on energy efficiency improvements you make
