What Is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit is an assessment that can show you where your home is losing energy (and how you can save money). It uses tools and techniques such as the blower door test to give you an overall picture of your home’s energy efficiency. A home energy assessment can reveal issues such as:
Air leaks –Air leaks can allow energy to escape from basements, attic and other areas in your home.
Insufficient insulation levels –If your insulation levels aren’t thick enough, it may be time to re-insulate to help increase efficiency.
Problems with combustion appliances (gas stoves, furnaces, etc.) – A faulty stove, furnace or other combustion appliance can be a significant source of energy loss in your home.
How Does an Energy Assessment Work?
When you schedule an energy assessment with Town Building Systems you can expect us to use a variety of techniques. The process goes as follows:
We’ll put up a blower door, which simulates a 20 MPH wind blowing against your home.
Then we’ll check the windows, doors, your attic and basement to figure out where the leaks are.
We’ll test for carbon monoxide as well as flue gases in the furnace and water tank.
Next, we’ll measure the amount of insulation in your attic and walls and check for proper ventilation throughout your home.
Finally, we’ll schedule a time to meet with you again to deliver the report, go over all of the energy-saving recommendations and answer any questions you may have. With optional low-interest financing from Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, we will work with you to select cost-effective energy upgrades for your home.

A professional home energy audit is the best way to determine your home’s energy efficiency and identify potential savings. However, Niagara County homeowners can perform DIY energy audits by conducting a thorough walkthrough to identify potential problems. Using a checklist of inspected areas and identified problems, homeowners can prioritize any needed energy-efficiency upgrades.
