Comprehensive Home Energy Assessments
Home Energy Assessments
At Earthrise Building Services, home energy assessments play a key role in guiding our retrofit solutions. These assessments deliver a thorough evaluation of your home's energy performance, examining all the critical details—from insulation to HVAC systems. By identifying key areas for improvement, we help you enhance efficiency and reduce energy costs, ensuring your home operates at its best.​
Our assessment process is thorough and methodical, ensuring no aspect of your home’s energy usage is overlooked.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a discussion to understand your specific concerns and goals.
Comprehensive Energy Audit
Our team conducts an in-depth examination of your home, using tools such as thermal imaging, blower door tests, and detailed evaluation of your HVAC systems.
Data Analysis
The collected data is analyzed to uncover patterns, inefficiencies, and potential areas for improvement.
Customized Retrofit Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a tailored plan that outlines the steps required to optimize your home’s energy performance.
Review and Recommendations
We present our findings and recommendations, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the proposed improvements and their benefits.
Common Energy Inefficiencies
In our experience, many homes suffer from similar energy inefficiencies, including:
Air Leaks
Small gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and even walls may seem insignificant, but they can add up to major energy loss in your home. These leaks let your conditioned air—whether warm in winter or cool in summer—escape, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Poor Insulation
Insulation acts as your home’s thermal barrier, helping to keep heat inside during the cold months and preventing hot air from infiltrating during the summer. However, many homes suffer from inadequate or poorly installed insulation, which means your home is losing valuable energy—and money. In winter, heat seeps out through walls, ceilings, and floors, while in summer, cool air escapes, forcing your HVAC system to work harder.
Outdated HVAC Systems
Old or inefficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are often the biggest energy drains in a home. These outdated systems struggle to maintain desired temperatures efficiently, leading to inconsistent heating and cooling, frequent breakdowns, and unnecessarily high energy bills.
We employ state-of-the-art tools and techniques to ensure our energy assessments are as accurate and effective as possible:
These tests measure the airtightness of your home, identifying areas where air leaks are compromising energy efficiency.
We use infrared cameras to detect heat loss in your home, highlighting areas with poor insulation or thermal bridging.
Our advanced software simulates your home’s energy performance, allowing us to predict the impact of various retrofit options.
