Home Energy Audit

Home energy audit evaluates where energy is being used and where it is wasted. It is important as

it saves environment, reduces carbon footprints and saves money. Most importantly it provides

comfort. By efficiently maintaining major energy consuming equipment’s like furnace and water

heater, energy bills can be reduced by 15%. Good insulation also saves energy. Leakage is

important parameter in home energy audit, more leakage refers to higher energy loss while low

rate of leakage means energy efficient. Energy efficient homes are comfortable to live. They are

warmer in winters and cooler in summers. By air sealing all cracks, energy loss can be reduced.

Similarly, by other measures such as putting gas kits behind light switches and by wrapping pipe

around water heater pipes energy loss can be reduced. Which in turns reduces greenhouse gas

emissions and consequently reduces global warming. Fixing air leakage, proper insulation, using

maximum daylights, changing old appliances with energy efficient ones, using less electricity for

heating are few of the ways that can help reduce your impact on the environment. Home energy

audit also ensures Health and Safety. Use of latest energy efficient technology energy loss can be

reduced which also have good impact on environment.
