17 Signs That You Need A Home Comfort, Energy Efficiency & Health Audit

1. Drafty Rooms: While it might seem like your windows are the issue, that's not always the case. Often, the real culprits can be inadequate insulation, poor duct system design, HVAC problems, or air sealing issues. During a home energy audit, we conduct tests to pinpoint the exact cause of the discomfort or draftiness in your room.
2. Mold or Growth In Home or Crawl Space: Presence of mold in your home or crawl space signals a moisture issue originating from within your home or crawl space.
3. Dirty or Moldy Air Ducts: This could indicate an issue with your duct system, air leakage, or humidity & moisture problems.
4. Rooms Too Hot or Too Cold: Having some rooms that are harder to heat or cool indicates problems with your insulation, ducts, or the heating and cooling system.
5. Dusty Rooms: It has to be coming in from somewhere! An improperly sealed home, leaky duct, and/or improperly balanced duct system are all potential culprits.
6. HVAC System Runs Continuously or Turns On/Off Frequently: This may indicate an overly leaky or drafty home or an oversized or undersized heating or cooling system.
7. Asthma or Allergies: Homes that are too leaky or drafty bring unwanted allergens into your home from outdoors - a sign that you may need to seal your home.
8. Odd or Musty Smells in Home: Musty smells usually mean mold. It doesn't take high concentrations of mold to create odors; microscopic and airborne mold affect your health. Moreover, it's usually the result of energy efficiency issues as well.
9. Home Feels Humid Or Dry: This is a sign of too low or high humidity in your home which is not only uncomfortable, but over time can cause mold issues or damage to your home.
10. Pests or Bugs in Home: If you're constantly treating your home for pest issues, you're probably treating the symptoms and not the source.
11. Cold Floors: This is usually a sign of problems with your insulation, ducts, weaknesses in the thermal and pressure boundaries, and/or an improperly sized HVAC system.
12. Room Over Garage is Hot or Uncomfortable: These rooms are generally neglected, with consideration to the envelope of the home. Because of this, they're often riddled with energy and comfort issues.
13. Cracks in Walls: Although the blame usually lands on the foundation of the home, expansion and contraction from moisture levels and rotting crawl spaces can also lead to cracks in the walls.
14. Wall or Paint Peeling & Cracking: This relates directly to the relative humidity in your home. If your home has excessive dryness or humidity; it's a sign of larger issues.
15. Dirty Around Air Vents: This is an indication that condensation is occurring and collecting a higher amount of dirt. This is a good clue that other problems also exist.
16. Home Has a Crawl Space: If you have a crawl space, you need an energy evaluation for many reasons. Energy loss, air leaks, water damage, mold growth, temperature imbalance, rotting wood... the list goes on and on. Simply put, there is nothing good about a musty, rotting, drafty crawl space beneath your home.
17. High Energy or Power Bills: If you are experiencing high power bills, making specific repairs to your home will save you money and make your home more comfortable and efficient.
