The Inspection
At EDC, we use thermal imaging technology while gathering information from roughly 40 different data points around your home. In doing so, we are then able to tell you which steps can be taken to improve the efficiency of your home, ultimately saving you money. Elements within the home which can contribute to energy waste often include:
- Faulty Windows which allow air to escape resulting in your air conditioning working harder to compensate.
- Inefficient Appliances which either use more energy than necessary or act as ‘vampire appliances’ which use standby power when not in use.
- Weak insulation, failing to regulate temperature properly and necessitating more heating and cooling from your A/C unit.
- Poor light bulbs that use too much power and can be replaced with more efficient options.
- Leaky fixtures, leading to excessive hot water usage.
