It’s & We’re Always Open!
Our expert, comprehensive home energy audit is the first step to living comfortably
Who wouldn’t like to make their home healthier and more comfortable, while also winning major savings on electricity and heating fuel? That’s right: You can eliminate the places in your home that are too hot or too cold at different times of the year.
You can improve indoor air quality to make your house healthier. And (last but not least) you can reduce your monthly utility and energy expenses!
Achieving these goals is a lot easier than many folks believe. It all starts with a home energy check-up, which is also referred to as an energy evaluation, assessment, or audit. Pipe Works Services recommends an energy check-up for every house because, like any good doctor, we know that it’s malpractice to prescribe treatment before completing a thorough diagnosis of your home.

Learn how your home uses and loses energy, and wastes money
A home energy evaluation by Pipe Works Services provides you with a thorough analysis of all the systems and conditions that factor into your home’s energy use.
Conducted by certified energy analysts, this energy evaluation process involves a series of tests, inspections, and calculations.
During a blower door (or infiltrometer) test, you’ll learn how much air leakage your house has compared to a similar house that has been air-sealed to recommended standards.
Many houses leak twice as much air as they should, effectively heating or cooling your neighbor’s yard! As the blower door’s powerful fan depressurizes the house, you’ll be able to see and feel where the air is leaking from your home.
Your Pipe Works Services technician will also inspect insulation levels, ductwork, HVAC equipment, water heating, and lighting. Special construction details – like crawl spaces, knee walls, and living areas above a garage, for example – will also get scrutinized because of their impact on comfort and energy efficiency.
Improving energy performance can also make a healthier home
Once your home energy evaluation is complete, you’ll be able to confer with your technician and decide which energy-saving upgrades should be completed first. Just as medical prescriptions must be carefully checked for possible interactive effects, one energy-saving upgrade can have an impact on another. To get the most for your money, it’s important to do the right things in the right order.
Some energy-saving improvements will improve your home’s indoor air quality. For example, leaky ductwork can cause your HVAC system to distribute air from crawl spaces, basements, and attic spaces throughout your living area. These same leaks can cut your HVAC system efficiency in half. To stop breathing “bad” air and wasting energy, you may just need a single improvement: duct sealing.
