You May Qualify for a Free Energy Audit

Do you have rooms in your home that are always hotter or colder than the rest of the home? Are there drafty areas that are always uncomfortable? With cold winter temperatures in the air, a few simple steps can keep your home cozy and warm this winter.

Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems

In Texas, up to 70 percent of your electricity bill can be from heating and cooling your home. HVAC systems lose efficiency over time. A 10 year old furnace may cost twice as much to run as a newer high-efficiency model.

Ductwork

In a typical Texas home, damaged, leaky and poorly connected ductwork allows 20 percent of your heated air to escape attic before it ever reaches your living areas.

Poor Insulation

A majority of Texas homes have insufficient insulation, and some older homes may even have none! Proper insulation levels help keep temperatures comfortable throughout your home and reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool your home.

Weatherization

Leaks around your windows and doors allow hot air in and cool air to escape. Even an 1/8 inch gap is the equivalent of having a 6 inch hole in your wall.

Appliances

Refrigerators and water heaters are two of the biggest energy drains on your home. If yours are over 15 years old, consider replacing them with one of today's more energy efficient Energy Star rated models. If you are using an old refrigerator in your garage it could be costing you $100 or more per month to use!!!

If your home is built prior to 1985 you may even qualify for a free energy audit. Call our office for details!
