Self-Diagnosis is Expensive!!!
As homeowners, most of us have a tendency to self-diagnose our home’s ailments.
We will likely GUESS the cause, and then call the contractor that can sell us the solution to our problem.
For example, if a house has a room that won’t heat properly in the winter, a homeowner will likely call either an HVAC company, an insulation company or a window company.
Any of those solutions might make a difference. But no one of them is likely to address the whole problem.
The fact is that most home comfort or energy efficiency issues have multiple causes and require multiple solutions.
The good news is that the solutions tend not to be as big or as expensive as a salesman might suggest.
The prize that results from an energy audit is having good, solid, objective and scientifically reliable information from which to make decisions.
Homeowners that have energy audits tend to spend less money improving their homes than people who self-diagnose.
The information you receive from an audit allows you to make smart decisions that maximize performance and minimize costs.
