Whole House Energy Efficiency Audit

Canella offers a whole house energy efficiency audit thorough its partnership with Home Energy Solutions. Such an audit is the first step in bringing your house up to the latest standards for energy efficiency.

Along with making your home more ecologically responsible, you will immediately realize greater comfort, an improvement in indoor air quality (i.e. fewer allergies, odors, etc.), and a significant reduction in energy costs for heating and cooling. (For example, In 2009 residents in the Hickory area experienced a 20%-30% reduction!)

During this professional home energy audit, certified home performance experts will bring in state-of-the-art equipment used for certifying "green" homes and analyze the dynamics of air flow in your house. Using the principles of building science they will assess the integrity of your home as a total system. In practical terms this means that they will help you identify where you are losing money and experiencing poor indoor air quality because of uncontrolled air leakage or improper equipment. Using data from these tests, we will develop a plan to put a stop to the drainage of money and energy from your house once and for all.

On the average the savings in energy costs of following up on an energy audit pay for the entire investment in less than five years, after which it's money in your pocket.
