Solar + Home Energy Efficiency
Every Solar Alternatives home energy efficiency package begins with a Diversified Energy 360 Home Energy Efficiency Audit. An experienced Diversified Energy consultant will conduct a thorough assessment of your home so we can custom design an upgrade plan that will provide the most energy efficiency bang for the buck, and improve your home’s safety and indoor air quality.
Your home’s performance matters, and saving valuable energy is key. You can rest assured that we will provide you with the most accurate and actionable information possible.
Did You Know?
Properly sealing and insulating leaky HVAC ductwork can lower your heating and cooling costs by up to 70% or more
360 Home Energy Efficiency Audit
Your 360 Home Energy Audit is a comprehensive review of the energy efficiency of your home. Your energy audit may include blower door testing [measures how leaky your home is], duct blaster testing [measures how leaky your ductwork is], CAZ testing [a safety check for indoor gas-fired appliances], plus a full inspection of the building envelope, HVAC equipment & ductwork, insulation inspection, and more.
You are welcome to observe and ask questions of our BPI-certified technicians as they perform your 360 Energy Audit. Solar Alternatives will provide your PEARL report regarding your home’s performance and further recommendations we recommend you fix/repair. If the additional suggested improvements are not part of Solar Alternative’s scope of services, we will provide an estimate for the project as well using the PEARL certification web application Greendoor.
