Home Energy Audits

What's included

A BPI-certified, whole-house diagnostic

Our BPI-certified Professional Building Analysts use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine exactly where a home is losing energy — rather than spending significant money on a single isolated improvement, ECS takes a whole-house approach.

• Blower door test — measures air infiltration across the whole house
• Thermal imaging — camera analysis that reveals hidden heat loss
• Pressure-pan testing — of ductwork, to identify duct deficiencies
• Combustion safety — carbon monoxide reading and back-draft check
• Mechanicals — HVAC and water heater analyzed by condition, efficiency, and back-drafting. We assess; we don't sell or service equipment.
• Ductwork — leakage, connections, and pressure balance across the system
• Insulation — attic, sub-floor, and crawl-space, including crawl-space encapsulation where it's warranted
• Kneewall areas — and other quirks unique to your home
• Clear report — easy to understand, with priority-ranked recommendations
• Rebate paperwork — prepared and submitted on your behalf

What to expect

Two to four hours on-site. Expert analysis after.

Audits generally take between two to four hours on-site and an additional five to six hours for backend calculations and paperwork. The audits are significantly more comprehensive than a simple visual inspection.

Once you examine the detailed report, you can elect to make the improvements yourself or have our preferred contractor implement them. We return and rerun the testing equipment — called a "test-out" — to measure the specific improvements and ensure maximum rebates from Georgia Power.

When we get to a 20% projected power reduction, Georgia Power customers qualify for an additional $1,100 rebate. All recommendations are prioritized with the concept of payback in mind. Done right, you can save up to 30% on your energy bill.
