Common Issues Affecting your Home’s Well-Being

DID YOU KNOW?

Our customers have saved an average of 21% off their utility bills after making upgrades identified from their audit.

To schedule your home energy audit, call 800-398-HOMEVisit washingtonenergy.com

1Excess Air Leakage The potential energy savings from reducing drafts in a home may range from 5% to 30% per year, and the home is generally much more comfortable afterwards.

2Low Insulation Levels If you can see rafters in your attic, that’s a sure sign that even minor upgrades can dramatically improve your comfort and efficiency.

Safety Concerns Safety concerns include gas leaks, exhaust and carbon monoxide issues. “About a quarter of the homes we go into have combustion issues or gas leaks.” – BPI Certified Auditor, Cory Tobin

4Duct Leakage Duct leakage is often caused by inadequately sealed ductwork or rodents with an appetite. Leaky ducts affect your comfort and energy savings.

Underperforming Products Old equipment with dated technology and wear & tear can run at efficiencies as low as 60%. “That’s $.40 of every dollar spent on heating that’s lost up the chimney.” – BPI Certified Auditor, Cory Tobin
