Professional Energy Assessments: Your Path to Measurable Savings
Professional home energy audits utilize sophisticated Evaluation, Measurement & Verification (EM&V) methodologies to provide accurate before-and-after comparisons of your home’s performance. These comprehensive evaluations measure reductions in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for electricity and terms for natural gas, translating technical data into real monetary savings.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, targeted improvements identified through professional assessments cut energy costs by 5% to 30%. Our EmPower+ certified technicians follow standardized protocols to establish your home’s baseline consumption, implement strategic energy conservation measures, and quantify your actual savings.
Real-world results speak volumes:
- A Brooklyn family in a 1960s split-level home achieved a 35% reduction in winter heating costs
- Nassau County homeowners saved $180 monthly after addressing insulation gaps
- Air sealing and insulation improvements alone typically deliver 10-20% energy savings
Through our work with the EmPower+ program, we’ve documented consistent savings that demonstrate professional assessment provides the most reliable path to minimize electrical expenses while maximizing comfort.
