Is Your House Energy-efficient?

We all assume that we breathe clean air when we are indoors, but in reality, air pollution can also happen inside our homes. The dirty air can stem from unoccupied rooms such as attics, foundation gaps, and improperly vented drain systems. We often take these issues for granted without knowing that they can cause health conditions to arise. By having a whole house energy exam done, you can pinpoint furnace problems and prevent these health conditions. Furthermore, you can also save on utility bills once the root cause are identified and resolved.

The Energy Efficiency Evaluation

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends for homeowners to get this testing done. The whole exam wouldn’t take long. It’s definitely worth it. First, you will be interviewed by a Comfort and Indoor Air Quality Consultant. This initial interview points determines your perception of comfort and indoor air quality. Next, there will be equipment and insulation inspection where your heating and cooling equipment and systems will be thoroughly checked for efficiency, proper installation, and maintenance. The next step is done with a blower door instrument called the Infiltrometer™, which measures the home’s air tightness.

Once all the assessments are done, air leakage evaluation follows. All these tests show the airflow diagnosis of your home. The consultant will then give you recommendations on how you can improve and solve your home’s heating and cooling problems. Once you’re done, you can turn in the proposal to your chosen contractor to perform the recommended improvements.

FLAME offers you advanced methods of testing for your home furnace in Detroit. For the smart homeowner, this is a great move to minimize expenses and at the same time provide a clean, safe, and healthy environment for the family.
