Energy House Technology offers several services to help Homeowners lower their energy bills. Our highly technical, talented staff and high tech tools can solve any energy issue that a home may have. Our simulation software and market knowledge can help homeowners distinguish their energy efficient homes at time of sale. This leads to a higher sale price and faster sale. Here is a list of services we offer home owners and home buyers that can help maximize the value of energy efficiency in homes.

Home Energy Audits

We have performed Energy Audits for homeowners that have reduced their energy costs by more than 40% in extreme cases. Our Energy Audits test the home as a ‘system’. The AC system is also tested for its operating efficiency. An on-line form exists to submit information on your home which is used to give feedback on the usefulness of an Energy Audit before the audit even takes place. For more information on our extensive Home Energy Audits, click HERE.

Solve Comfort Issues In Your Home

Many homes experience periods of discomfort. Some homes have areas that are too warm in the summer and too cool in the winter months. Many homes feel cold and clammy in the summer which reflects a high indoor humidity condition. Others have a cold drafty feeling in the winter. In extreme cases, water condensation forms on indoor surfaces in the summer months along with microbial growth and musty air. Energy House Technology has the equipment and building science knowledge to solve these comfort and air quality problems.

Manual J HVAC System Sizing Calculations

Many homes have AC systems that are too large. To learn more about the negative effects of oversized AC systems, click HERE. If you need to replace your AC unit, we would provide a Third Party AC sizing calculation – providing an independent report on the correct size for your home. This would be particularly important if energy improvements in the home’s building shell have been made (new windows, added insulation, etc.).

HERS Ratings - Marketing Energy Efficient Homes

If your home contains energy retrofit improvements (high SEER AC unit, new solar enhanced windows, upgrades in appliances, solar, etc.), you would want to have a HERS certificate for your home. At the time of sale, the HERS certificate would help distinguish your home from others on the market that are not energy efficient.To learn more about the HERS certificate and how it can help market your home, click HERE.

Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEM)

If you are planning to buy a home that is in need of energy efficient upgrades, such as a new AC unit, windows, appliances, added insulation, you definitely would want to look into the possibility of an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM). If you own a home and are looking to refinance and upgrade the energy efficiency of the home, an EEM may be a good idea here as well. To learn more about how an EEM may be the loan type for you, click HERE.

Green Home Plans For New Energy Efficient Homes

If you are planning a new custom home, you definitely want to consider having your home designed and built to one of the Green Home certification programs. We help guide you through this process and select the best energy options that meet your goals. To learn more about Green Homes, click HERE.

Solar Site Surveys

Are you looking to add solar energy to your home? We can assist in sizing the renewable systems that would maximize the payback for your home. We can show you the most cost effective path to minimizing your energy costs and reduce your energy bill. We always recommend a thorough Energy Audit to maximize efficiency before renewable energy sources are added to a building. For more information on solar site surveys, click HERE.

Tax Incentives For Solar Energy and Energy Efficient Retrofits

There are many Tax Incentives available to home owners to help offset the costs of improving the energy efficiency of their home. Tax Incentives exist for renewable energy sources as well as energy efficiency retrofits to the home. These Tax Incentives are ever changing. We can help apply the proper incentives to the proper energy upgrades to your home. To learn more about Energy Tax Credits, click HERE.
