When your home isn’t as comfortable or energy efficient as it should be, guessing at potential fixes can lead to wasted time and money. An energy assessment provides a clear understanding of how a home uses—and loses—energy, ensuring any upgrades you invest in are targeted to solve the real issues.
Preferred Builder Resources offers professional energy assessments to homeowners throughout Alabama and Mississippi’s Gulf Coast regions and Florida’s Emerald Coast. We also conduct energy assessments for businesses and commercial buildings.
Benefits of an Energy Assessment
- Identifies the root causes of common issues like drafts, uneven temperatures, and high heating and cooling bills
- Helps prioritize upgrades that deliver the greatest impact
- Provides insight into your overall energy performance
With Preferred Builder Resources, an energy assessment is more than just an inspection—it’s your personalized roadmap to a healthier, more comfortable, and more energy efficient home.
What’s Included in an Energy Assessment?
Our energy assessments involve a thorough evaluation of your home’s energy usage and efficiency. Using advanced diagnostic tools and building science expertise, we’ll analyze key components of your home, including:
- Insulation Levels: To identify areas with insufficient thermal protection.
- Air Leaks: To see where heated and air conditioner air seeps out. Leaks are commonly found around windows, doors, and other penetrations.
- Ductwork: To check for leaks or inefficiencies that may be affecting HVAC performance.
As part of the process, we use blower door testing to locate air leaks in your home’s building envelope. This powerful tool depressurizes your home, making it easy to pinpoint gaps and cracks that could be wasting energy.
What Happens After Your Assessment?
At the end of your energy assessment, you’ll receive our findings and recommendations for home improvements. These may include:
- Insulation Upgrades: Adding or replacing insulation in critical areas like walls, attics, and crawl spaces.
- Air Sealing: Sealing gaps and cracks to prevent drafts and energy loss.
- Duct Sealing: Ensuring your ductwork is leak-free and your HVAC system is operating efficiently.
We’ll explain each recommendation, showing you how it addresses your specific concerns while improving your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
