Utility Bill Summary
How much are you spending on gas and electricity per year?
This chart shows how much you're spending annually on utility bills and the amount that's being spent on gas vs. electricity. Your
utility costs are an important factor when deciding which efficiency measures make the most sense for your home.

Estimated Lighting Cost
How much do you pay to light your home?
Lighting can be a major energy drain. While incandescent bulbs continue to be the most common lighting source in homes today,
they are the least efficient and shortest-lasting option. 90% of the energy used to light an incandescent bulb is released as heat
instead of light. Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulbs provide very comparable light quality as compared with traditional
incandescents, but only use 25% of the energy.

Appliance Efficiency
How much do your appliances cost?
We've estimated the annual cost of operating your applications based on typical use. See our recommendations for an estimate
of how much you could save if you replaced some of your appliances with Energy Star models.

Appliance Recommendations
Which appliances should you consider replacing?
Energy Audit
Over the life span of most appliances, the cost to operate them is far more than the initial purchase price.
Therefore, purchasing an energy-efficient appliance is almost always the wisest choice, even if it costs more
to purchase than an inefficient one. You can determine the most energy-efficient model by looking at
"EnergyGuide" labels.

Energy Loss
Where is energy being lost in your home?
We have calculated your home's actual performance through a method known as Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA)
Manual J. This process allows us to precisely understand how each component of your building affects your heating load, and
identify which areas are most appropriate to improve based on your health, comfort and efficiency goals.

Air Leakage
How drafty is your home?
Reducing air leakage is often the single most effective step you can take towards a more efficient, healthy and comfortable home.
Minimizing air leakage can reduce heating and cooling bills, and improve indoor air quality and comfort. During your energy audit
we used a blower door to determine the percentage of air your home exchanges with the outdoors per hour.

Attic Insulation
How well is your attic insulated?
After air sealing, attic insulation is typically one of the best "bang for your buck" steps you can take towards a more efficient and
comfortable home. Well installed attic insulation acts as a barrier to summer and winter heat loss to and from your attic. It's like a
nice thick, winter hat for your home that saves you money all year round.

Floor Insulation
How well is your floor insulated?
An air tight and properly insulated floor will reduce the amount of crawlspace air infiltration and heat lost through your floors at the
same time. This will result in a healthier more comfortable indoor environment.

Duct Leakage & Insulation
How leaky is your ductwork?
Duct leakage is a major contributor to energy waste and poor indoor air quality. A duct system should act as a closed loop in
which no indoor air is lost to the outdoors and no outdoor air is introduced into your home. A well sealed and insulated duct
system is a key component to a healthy and efficient home.

Wall Insulation
How well are your walls insulated?
Walls typically account for a large percentage of total heat loss due to the amount of wall surface area to the outdoors. When
possible, adding wall insulation to an existing home can greatly improve comfort and efficiency as well as decrease outdoor noise.

Windows
How efficient are your windows?
Windows are an important component of a well performing building envelope. It’s important, however, to consider the energy
savings potential of window replacement compared to other building envelope improvements as steps like building envelope
sealing and insulation are typically more cost effective and will have a greater impact on improving comfort and health.

HVAC System Summary
How efficient are your furnace and air conditioner?
The HVAC summary compares the amount of heat your furnace can create to the amount needed by your home, and the amount
of cooling your air conditioner can create to the amount needed. A properly sized furnace will reduce run-time cycling, and
increase comfort and efficiency. A properly sized furnace and air conditioner combination will reduce run-time cycling, and
increase comfort and efficiency.

Photos of Your Furnace Flue
Here is a photo of your furnace flue in the attic. As you can see, the flue is eroded. This is caused by combustion gases that cool
when they hit the attic and release a acidic condensation. Today's standards require an insulated combustion gas flue but
apparently this was not done in your home.

Summary of Findings
Energy Audit
Attic:
Mar 3, 2010
•
Attic is only insulated to R-19. Current code and DOE recommendation is R-49.
•
There are penetrations throughout the attic. This is one of the major causes of air leakage in homes and causes cold walls and rooms,
drafts and energy loss.
•
Attic hatch is not insulated properly and lacks any exterior seal. This allows unconditioned air to infiltrate the home
•
The bath fan vents directly into the attic. This can cause moisture issues that in the worst cases lead to mold and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
issues.
•
The vent duct for the microwave is not secured properly to the attic vent. This can also cause air issues and is easily fixed.
Basement/Crawlspace
•
The basement rim joist is not properly sealed. In addition to the attic, this is the other major area where unconditioned air enters the
home.
•
The exterior crawlspace walls are not insulated and have some leaky ducts. This is another area where you are gaining unconditioned air
while losing conditioned air.
•
The wood-burning stove is allowing unconditioned air in through the chimney. Since this is not used, blocking this chimney is
recommended.
HVAC System
•
The furnace flue/chimney is rusted and leaking combustion gases into the attic. This must be addressed immediately.
