Are your Energy Bills too High?

 

     Right now your home is losing energy costing you money. We're not just talking about a few pennies either. We could be talking hundreds of dollars per year. And that's really just the average home.

     A professional thermal inspection will provide you with a quick review of energy loss, water leaks (mold), roof leaks, electrical issues, ductwork leakage, etc.  

    The largest  expense in home energy cost is caused by HVAC equipment, poor insulation, windows & doors all contribute to high energy cost. Professional thermal imaging combined with energy analysis provides solutions.

    

We are certified by itc, Infrared Training Center / IECC, International Energy Codes (DOE) and BPI,  Building Performance Institute. Ewrs will provide you with the best quality inspections and services.

  

If you were to add up all the leaks from natural air infiltration, you probably would have a hole the size of a basketball in your structure.

 

 We perform CO (carbon monoxide) combustion test on your gas appliances. We measure for spillage and efficiency. We check CO 2 (carbon dioxide) levels and fresh air return. We check for moisture levels, high levels are an indication for mold.

 

 If you tighten up your structure (weatherization program) always have a professional re check your gas appliances for proper ventilation. Because negative pressure indoors can result into CO spillage or flame rollout causing sickness or death.

 

All information after inspection is compiled into a report, then provided to you.

 

 

 

Below are sample thermal images of a few problems we have found when performing a thermal scan. Depending on the application our high resolution camera (640 X 480) provides the owner with a quick review of that structure.

 

  

 These image is from an uninsulated duct supply, located below this floor in the basement.

     

 

As the blue thermal signature in this Radiator shows much cooler than the

white and red thermal signatures explains why this is non efficient. 

 

Interior image of bedroom: The blue thermal signature indicates cooler

temperature from missing insulation.

 

 

Heat Loss from a Home
A picture is worth…in this case, lost heating dollars. This thermal image shows heat leaking from a house during those expensive winter heating months. The thermal signature white, yellow, and red colors show heat escaping. The white represents the area of the greatest heat loss. The ambient temperature outdoors on this day was at 32 degrees. I measured the outside wall of this homes temperature at 52 degrees. Which means, with the indoor temperature is at 70 degrees this home is loosing approx, 20 percent of it heating just through its exterior walls. This home just passed its first birthday, a new home that a contractor took short cuts on.
