Virtual Site Visits
Our first step is typically a virtual site visit. This provides an opportunity to get to know your priorities for energy efficiency, electrification, comfort, and indoor air quality. We develop an initial scope of work plan and then visit your home to verify our initial recommendations and scope of work. Our Building Analysts provide the benefit of years of experience gained from thousands of audits, site visits, and upgrades.
We partner with Home-Intel, in partnership with PG&E, enabling remote monitoring of home energy use with the click of a button. Home-Intel is one of our tools to help guide customers through the electrification process. Call us today to schedule a virtual site visit so we can provide a plan to reduce your home energy use and ensure a more comfortable home environment for you and your family.
In the Home Energy Audit we evaluates your home’s current energy use level and provide you with a plan for improving your home’s energy efficiency.
Home Energy Audits include a check for combustion safety issues such as gas leaks, as well as indoor air quality and other home comfort and safety elements.
What is a Home Energy Audit?
Building Efficiency has designed our Home Energy Assessments to take into account each individual homeowner’s needs and goals. We begin the home energy assessment with a customer interview so we can get to know your goals and concerns. A home located in San Francisco has different energy needs than a home located in San Mateo. Whether it’s comfort or energy savings, we customize the solution with a road map of energy upgrades and rebates from state and local programs.
What Happens During an Energy Audit?
Typical evaluation methods used during Building Efficiency’s Home Energy Assessment include locating drafts, checking for insulation (in walls, attic, floors), creating an energy model (computer modeling for planning and rebates), evaluating duct-work (checking duct systems), and checking for moisture or combustion safety issues (gas leaks, back drafting, combustion flue gases, indoor air quality).
