Home Energy Audit
At your request, our energy conservation specialists will inspect
your home or business for heating and cooling leaks and recommend ways you can conserve
energy and money. The fee for such an audit is $100. In a complete audit, the Cooperative auditor will check the following: Attics,
walls and floors. The auditor will look inside your attic and underneath your house
to measure the amount of insulation that is there. This is to make sure your insulation
has the proper "R" value. He will also review the walls and determine if they
have sufficient insulation. In addition, he will check for drafts around outside wall
boards and electrical outlets to make sure the insulation is properly installed in your
walls. Visit the following site to learn more about insulation:

Heating and cooling. Our energy auditor will suggest ways to enhance your
heating/cooling system's effectiveness without costing you a fortune. Many times, simple
things such as replacing the filter can save quite a bit of money.
Water heater. Water heaters are usually the second largest energy user in the home. The
auditor will make sure it has the recommended heat setting and will suggest any
improvements, such as insulating the water heater. A properly operating water heater can
cut water-heating costs by as much as 20%.
Windows and doors. These openings will be checked to make sure they are not
losing heating or cooling energy through cracks caused by loosely sealed joints.
He also will check for storm windows and doors, or double-glazed windows and
doors; both are proven energy savers. Proper weather-stripping and caulking will
be checked. Audits usually do not last long and are a sure, low cost way to
determine if you need to improve your home or business's energy efficiency. Call
