Open Your Doors in the Winter !

Imagine leaving an outside door open all winter long -- the heat loss, cold drafts and wasted energy! Maybe during the cold winter you can warm the county you live in and all your neighbors will appreciate your efforts. Perhaps that cooling in the summer will help your friends down the road feel better. Maybe you don't mind spending hundreds or even thousands of wasted energy dollars each year.

I bet all of these notions are wrong for you. This is where energy efficiency becomes the focus of our our ITI Energy Audits. We see things the others don't!

Let's focus on one are of your home that may be just like leaving that door wide-open, your fireplace.

Assistance Programs

In recent years a number of financial programs have been put in place to help homeowners and businesses improve energy efficiency and in invest in new renewable energy resources. Taking advantage of these new programs can substantially reduce the costs associated with becoming more energy efficient, and save you even more money!

Preparing for a Home Energy Audit

In our many audits we have dealt with all manner of homes in all kinds of states. We can work with you in any way that is best for you.

However, as inspectors, we do not move furniture, household items etc. We can usually get good results just as your home is when we arrive.

But for even better results, and where it is practical, the following are some simple suggestions

Rodent and Pest Detection

I don't mind telling you, energy audits can turn up some very strange things. We are NOT licensed pest inspectors, however an infrared thermal energy audit does not lie. These guys scared the pooh out of me...and we would recommend you call a licensed pest exterminator!

But ITI technology can detect even more pest and rodent problems, as you can see in the following scans.

Radon and Your Health

radondeaths Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
