Energy Assessments

ENERGY Assessments ARE THE FIRST STEP IN PLANNING HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

At Energia, our top priority is making sure your building is healthy, safe and comfortable, and as efficient as possible in order to save you money.

In order to identify potential issues or inefficiencies, we can assist you in setting up a building energy audit. During an energy assessment, a building performance professional checks for air leaks and infiltration, examines insulation levels, inspects the heating system and ductwork, and performs diagnostic testing of your building.

THE ENERGY Assessment: A ROADMAP TO ENERGY SAVINGS

The energy assessment is the first step to calculating how much energy your home consumes and allows our recommended professionals to make suggestions on how to make your home more energy efficient. An assessment will show you problems that can potentially save you significant amounts of money over time.

Certified Partnership

At Energia, we adhere to the highest standards for home energy performance set by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). With BPI Certified personnel, our top priority is occupant health and safety.  Energia is also a certified contractor for the Mass Save Home Energy Services Program, and can assist in providing eligible customers a Home Energy Assessment at no cost to the homeowner.

Energia: Your Advocate for Maximum Energy Savings

Our team is dedicated to making sure energy auditors evaluate your home or business in such a way as to ensure maximum incentives are available for your energy upgrades. We act as your advocate, pairing our technical knowledge with our experience in practical application of efficiency improvements to make sure you’re getting the most accurate information from your auditor and the most bang for your buck for the project.

A Typical Energy Assessment

    • Thermal envelope

    • Moisture

    • Electrical hotspots

  • Test for combustion safety with equipment including carbon monoxide & gas detectors

  • Determine moisture levels in materials & air with Moisture Meters & Hygrometers
