As whole-home performance specialists, Healthy Home Energy & Consulting understands the importance of creating energy-efficient homes and how they can not only save you money, but also contribute to environmental sustainability. However, when making upgrades to your home, the best place to start is with an in-depth energy audit, or what we call a Healthy Home Evaluation. This crucial step helps our team of experts build a roadmap that’s tailored to your home’s specific needs, making it better for you and the environment in the long run. Here’s a look into that process:
What’s Included in a Healthy Home Evaluation
At Healthy Home Energy & Consulting, we’re a Building Performance Institute GoldStar® Certified contractor and NYSERDA energy audit contractor, which means we have the knowledge and experience to identify areas of inefficiencies throughout your home. We also use specialized equipment, like blower door testing and infrared thermal imaging, to pinpoint the source of issues. Every Healthy Home Evaluation comes with:
Customized Plans for Home Efficiency & More
After your Healthy Home Evaluation, we’ll give you a detailed, no-pressure report of our findings. We’ll provide a list of recommended services, prioritizing the services that will provide the most impact on the efficiency, comfort, and health of your home. Our energy audit reports will also include a cost-benefit analysis that will help you understand your potential energy savings, along with a list of incentives available to make your home improvements more affordable. You can make upgrades one step at a time depending on your schedule and budget, and Healthy Home Energy & Consulting will be there for you every step of the way.
Common recommendations we make for homes in the Westchester and Putnam county areas include:
Insulation & Air Sealing - Air leaks and poor insulation could be leading to significant energy loss in your home. When these services are combined, they provide superior protection for your home from the outside elements.
Air Duct Cleaning & Sealing - If your home’s heating & cooling is distributed through ductwork, they could be the source for energy loss and poor indoor air quality. Cleaning and sealing your duct system is a cost-effective and impactful way to find savings.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions - Whether your home has too much humidity, moisture problems, or excessive levels of indoor pollutants, Healthy Home Energy & Consulting can find a reliable and long-lasting solution.
Heat Pump Installation - Heat pumps offer an all-electric alternative to heating & cooling that doesn’t require fossil fuels. Not only are these innovative HVAC systems more efficient, but they’re better for the environment as well. Healthy Home Energy & Consulting installs both ducted and ductless mini split heat pump systems and can help find the best choice for your home’s specific needs.
