ENERGY EFFICIENCY

How Energy Efficient is Your Home?
Using science, the latest technology, and over 25 years of experience, Envergent is dedicated to helping you save money, while saving the planet - one home at a time.

We do this by providing homeowners with the information and resources they need to keep their homes working properly. Though much of the information we provide will include do-it-yourself upgrades, we also have a network of certified contractors. They are available should you need any assistance making energy efficient repairs or upgrades to your home.

Carbon Footprints
We all contribute to global warming each day. The carbon dioxide you produce through home energy consumption adds up quickly. You'd be surprised by how much CO2 you emit each year.

Many things in your home can devour energy. This includes inefficient heating, air conditioning, and ventilating systems. It also includes appliances that are inefficient, windows and doors that leak, and ceilings and walls that lack proper insulation.

This is money out of your pocket, and it's bad for the environment. The electricity generated by fossil fuels for an average single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air than operating two average cars.

Free Home Energy Profile - Find out just how efficient your home is - Free!
Our Free Home Energy Profile will let you know if your home is operating efficiently based on its size and age. If your home passes the Home Energy Profile, you will then know that your home is energy efficient and is not wasting your money.

However, should we uncover that your energy consumption is higher than it should be based on homes of similar size/age, we will then provide you with a variety of ways to lower your energy consumption, reduce your monthly energy bill, and significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Home Energy Audits

Is your home less efficient than it should be? Stop throwing money out the window (literally). Let Envergent show you where you can save energy - and cash!

An Envergent Home Energy Audit is the first step in evaluating and understanding what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. We will uncover current or potential problems that will, once corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time.

During our extensive ten stage audit, we will pinpoint exactly where your house is losing energy, along with all of your options to resolve the problem, from do-it-yourself solutions to professional remedies, to professional remedies.

Our Home Energy Audit will also determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems, and may reveal ways that you can increase your comfort and save money at the same time!

The Envergent Ten Step Audit includes:

1.) Energy Profile (Utility Bill Analysis)
This is the first step in our ten stage audit that uses information found on your utility bill to determine if your home is energy efficient as compared to other homes of similar size and age. This information also provides us with a baseline of your home's performance, and can be used to measure improvement as upgrades and improvements are made.

2.) Lighting
Review your current lighting situation and then recommend opportunities to make adjustments. This is usually a very easy and inexpensive way to save significant money.

3.) Major Appliances
Review your home's major appliances to determine how energy efficient they are, what maintenance needs to be done, and if they should be replaced with energy efficient models.

4.) HVAC Systems
Review of heating, cooling and hot water systems to determine what maintenance and/or adjustments need to be done, and if they should be replaced with energy efficient models.

5.) Duct Testing
Review of air ducts to determine efficiency. Many homes suffer from ducts that leak and/or contain dust/dirt. This can cause them waste energy and create air quality and health problems.

6.) Insulation
Review of the insulation in your home to determine if there are opportunities to make improvements.

7.) Infra-Red Imaging
Using an infra-red camera designed for home testing, we can literally "see" the thermal difference caused by air movement and missing insulation. Our infra-red camera allows us to identify problem areas no other test can determine.

8.) Blower Door Testing
With a blower door test, we will locate and measure where your home leaks air and where outside air leaks in. Reducing air leakage is an effective way to improve energy efficiency.

9.) Education and Final Report
Upon completion of the energy audit, we will develop a final report that summarizes all of the data we have gathered. We will then walk you through this report and show you where you can make improvements to your home to not only save energy and money, but to also improve the healthiness of your indoor environment, while reducing your carbon footprint and improving the world's environment.

10.) Energy Efficiency Certification
Once you have made the suggested improvements and upgrades to your home, we will return to retest your energy efficiency. Should your home fall within set parameters for energy efficient homes in your area, we will issue you an Envergent Home Energy Efficiency certificate. This will certify your home's energy efficiency and increase the value of your home. Please keep the document with your important home papers should you ever sell your home and place the included green footprint stickers in your window to let your neighbors know what you've done to reduce your carbon footprint.
