What are the Benefits of an Energy Audit?
Your HVAC system accounts for nearly half of your monthly energy costs. If you regularly have high energy bills and want to make your home or business more energy efficient, an audit can help. A professional energy audit will analyze your energy use to identify areas where you can reduce energy loss. Your auditor will then help you develop a plan to solve your energy efficiency problems.
The resulting benefits of an energy audit include:
- More efficient HVAC systems
- Improved indoor comfort
- Lower electricity bills
- Greater energy savings over time
Air duct cleaning is recommended every three to five years. A careful inspection will give us a better understanding of your HVAC problem. If duct cleaning is required, we will discuss the service with you and provide you with an upfront quote.
How Can You Prepare?
A significant part of the energy audit involves gathering information about your energy consumption. These are some of the steps you can take to make the auditing process go more smoothly and efficiently:
- Compile a list of the issues that are currently affecting your property, such as hot/cold spots or condensation on your windows.
- Have electric bills from the past year available (this will make it easier to pinpoint areas of energy loss).
- Do you use a programmable thermostat? Make a note of your daily/weekly thermostat setting schedule.
- Prepare to discuss and answer any questions about your overall energy use.

What to Expect During the Energy Audit
In addition to compiling information on your energy consumption, our auditors will also perform a physical inspection of your home or business. We will check your insulation, perform blower door tests, and look for areas where air can enter or escape from your property. Feel free to follow us during the inspection to ask questions and provide additional insight.
Some of the equipment we use to perform the audit include infrared cameras, surface thermometers, and combustion analyzers.
We will also ask you about your daily routine, the number of people occupying your home or building, whether or not every room is used, your typical thermostat setting during summer and winter, and other questions that will give us a better understanding of how you use energy at home or in your business. All of this will allow us to spot energy-wasting actions and help us provide you with accurate recommendations.
Recommendations for Improving Energy Efficiency
Once the energy audit is complete, we will discuss our findings with you and present you with a plan for reducing your monthly energy costs.
Examples of recommended actions include:
- Airduct sealing and insulation
- Setting your thermostat higher when your home/building is unoccupied
- Installing high-efficiency HVAC equipment
- Installing ceiling fans to help with air circulation and moisture control
Our experts at Direct AC are happy to help you analyze your energy use and provide you with solutions tailored to your specific needs.
