Homeowners / Energy Efficiency Upgrades
| A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems, that when corrected, save you significant amounts of money. During the audit, we pinpoint where your house is losing energy. Our audits also determine the condition and efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems. An audit also shows you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. |
Here are the basic steps during our energy audit: |
 |
|
-Brief tour of house with homeowner. |
|
-Exterior and interior inspection of the building, including attics and crawl spaces. |
|
-Safety and performance checks of you Heating and Cooling systems, hot water heater. |
|
-Blower testing to determine how leaky your house is. |
|
-Diagnostic pressure testing to identify specific paths of air infiltration. |
|
-Infrared Camera analysis to visualize heat loss. |
|
-Review of findings with Homeowner. |
|
-Follow up report on finding and recommendations for future action. |

| If you add up all the hidden air leaks in your home, they can equal a hole the size of an open window — and can lead to higher energy bills by allowing heat to escape and causing your system to work harder to keep you comfortable. This makes home sealing one of the first and most important steps you can take to reduce home energy costs year-round. Sealing air leaks and adding insulation-paying special attention to your attic and basement, where the biggest gaps and cracks are often found-will keep warm air inside where it belongs and help your equipment perform more efficiently. |
|
 |
| Insulation is the single most cost effective way for a homeowner to save money on their future energy costs. In Fact, Insulation is the only building product that will actually pay for itself. Adding insulation is a part of almost every weatherization project. Making sure there is enough insulation in the walls, foundation, and roof -- anywhere there is a barrier between the home and the outside-is one of the most important ways to make a home energy efficient. Eastern's customers will benefit from improved comfort, lower energy bills, and a higher resale value. |

 |
| Attic Reinsulation |
| Properly insulating and air sealing your attic will help reduce your energy bills. Attics are often one of the easiest places in a house to insulate, especially if you'd like to add insulation. |
| Sidewall Reinsulation |
| Properly insulated exterior walls in your house will not only increase comfort but also help you save on heating and cooling costs. For energy savings, you can add insulation to your walls in an existing house. |
| Crawl spaces |
| If you properly insulate your crawl space -- in addition to air sealing and controlling moisture, you will save on energy costs and increase your home's comfort. You need to carefully consider the proper product and techniques, not to mention moisture control. |
