Tomorrow, April 22, we celebrate Earth Day. Some may spend the day planting a tree or picking up litter, but there are even more things we can do that not only save our planet, but save us money. SkyeTec offers homeowners valuable services that help reduce their carbon footprint and keep cash in their wallets.
Homeowners looking for low- and no-cost ways to reduce their energy bill should turn to SkyeTec's Home Energy Analysis. This inspection breaks down their current utility bill to detect which areas are costing the most and offers recommendations that will lower their energy bill. Raters use equipment such as infrared cameras to detect any air or water leakage in the home that could be costing the owner hundreds of dollars. Homeowners could reduce their energy bill by up to 30% depending on the upgrades they implement.
For an even more in-depth analysis, SkyeTec's Energy Audit with HERS(R) measures the home's energy efficiency level using state-of-the-art testing, including a blower door test and duct blaster test. RESNET raters calculate a HERS index - the nationally recognized rating system for energy efficiency. This index is being increasingly used for a number of different activities, including obtaining a baseline for deep energy retrofits. "A HERS Index is extremely useful to a homeowner - it helps improve the home's resale value, and can be used to receive an Energy Efficient Mortgage, saving the owner in more money," states RESNET rater and Green building consultant, Rondra Bolden.
We welcome you to view an Energy Audit with HERS(R) firsthand so that you can understand the value that this inspection brings to a homeowner. Our objective inspections are performed by certified raters who have no vested interest in selling any products to a homeowner. SkyeTec simply provides the data and a variety of paths the homeowner can take to achieve higher energy efficiency.
