Energy Assessment

An Energy Audit or Energy Checkup is the best way to understand how your home is working as a system. An energy assessor will collect data and determine the best strategy and highest priority to better your home regarding safety, health, comfort and efficiency.

DIAGNOSTIC BLOWER DOOR TESTING

A diagnostic blower door test measures the amount of air loss in your home. This test provides data that is used by utility groups and local programs that offer incentives. A BPI (Building Performance Institute) building analyst (BA) usually provides this test for existing homes.

INFRARED TESTING

Thermography measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still cameras. These tools see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video or film record the temperature variations of the building's skin, ranging from white for warm regions to black for cooler areas. The resulting images help the auditor determine whether insulation is needed. They also serve as a quality control tool, to ensure that insulation has been installed correctly.

Air Sealing

Air Sealing...what is it? The invisible thief that steals your heating or cooling from your house. This service has been a secret from the contracting world and today is becoming known as the least expensive, most effective energy upgrade you can do. (See Energy Auditor to understand the steps to find air loss)

AIR SEALING AND INSULATION

If you're thinking about insulation and you don't inspect and provide air sealing first, the "effective R-Value" changes dramatically. The average home will have over 5 square feet of "holes", from electric outlets to fireplaces and basement rim joists. Imagine leaving a window open in your home throughout the coldest winters and the hottest summers. Let one of our professionals find and remedy this problem for you and your family.

Insulation

Insulation can vary in many products. An insulating material’s resistance to conductive heat flow is measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance or R-value. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value depends on the type of insulation, its thickness, and its density. When calculating the R-value of a multilayered installation, add the R-values of the individual layers. Installing more insulation in your home increases the R-value and the resistance to heat flow. Request an energy assessment to determine how much insulation you need for your home.

INSULATION MATERIALS

Insulation materials run the gamut from fiber materials such as fiberglass, cellulose, rock and slag wool and natural fibers to rigid foam boards to sleek foils. Bulky materials resist conductive and -- to a lesser degree -- convective heat flow in a building cavity. Rigid foam boards trap air or another gas to resist conductive heat flow.

Roofing

Did you know: that lighter shingle colors become more heat reflective. Although roofing materials have a much larger impact on roofing energy efficiency than their colors do, a darker ENERGY STAR-rated roof will usually out perform a lighter roof that isn't designed with efficiency in mind.

Roofing materials that have earned the ENERGY STAR label have a high degree of solar reflectance, which means that they reflect more of the sun’s heat than other materials. These materials can lower the surface temperature of a roof by as much as 50 F, and can reduce peak demand on air conditioners by up to 15 percent.

An energy efficient roof makes a huge difference, but it can’t do all the work. If the insulation in your attic or under your roof is not efficient, you’re still likely to have a problem with unwanted heat. Installing box vents and ridge vents can also encourage air circulation in a way that will bring down temperatures beneath your roof. If you’re considering energy efficiency upgrades for your roof, you should think of upgrading your attic as part of a package deal.

Solar Energy Installation

Let the Sun to Work For You!

HES has partnered with solar companies, to provide a full service of Home Energy Efficiency.

No matter where you live, the sun is always working! Because of net metering and UV ray technology, solar panels will continue to produce clean, renewable energy rain or shine… saving you THOUSANDS of dollars and reducing your carbon footprint.

According to a recent study performed by Zillow, your home’s value will increase by 4-6% when you go solar. Stop throwing away money every single month and start making payments towards ownership!

Our in house installers and team will determine the appropriate size for your system. The size will be based on your electricity needs. 

Our installers will also ensure that all equipment is installed correctly and oriented and tilted in such a way to maximize the daily and seasonal solar energy received and produced by your system.
