The Energy Audit

The Comprehensive Home Assessment

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® can help you lower your energy bills AND make your Long Island home safer and more comfortable. It all starts with a Comprehensive Home Assessment which has two phases.

The Audit

The home energy audit consists of extensive diagnostic testing and assessment of your existing home conditions, includng:

Health and Safety Tests (Carbon Monoxide and Combustion Safety Testing)
Air Leakage Tests (Blower Door Testing)
Insulation Level Verification
Heating and Domestic Hot Water Efficiency Testing
Cooling System Efficiency Testing
Assessing Lighting Upgrade Opportunities
Distribution System Leakage Testing
Assessing Major Appliance Upgrade Opportunities
Second Phase
Triple H Contracting will develop a workscope for proposed improvements, including a cost and energy savings estimate.

How is it done?

We use a number of diagnostic tools during the first phase of your Comprehensive Home Assessment. Some of the tools used are:

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analyzer: Important Health and Safety tool
Blower Door: Measures the air tightness of a home and aids in identifying areas where air leakage is occurring
Duct Blaster: Measures how “leaky” the ductwork is in a home. (This tool would only be used in a home that has a forced air heating system and/or central air conditioning.)
Infrared Imaging
Combustion analyzer
