At Green Team LI, we start every heating & cooling and home efficiency project with a thorough energy audit. We’re a Building Performance Institute Gold Star Company that not only follows industry standards, but also keeps up with the latest technology, monitoring tools, and training.
When you get an energy audit with our team of whole-home experts, you get the best recommendations and work available today—in fact, we guarantee it. If you’re unsatisfied with your audit, tell us why and we’ll refund your money. However, many homeowners can qualify for a free home energy audit through incentives, so there’s no risk involved!
What is an Energy Audit?
An energy audit is like a check-up for your home’s energy performance. It involves a thorough assessment that evaluates how efficiently your home uses energy and identifies areas where you can save money and improve comfort.
During an energy audit, the Green Team LI experts will inspect your home, analyze energy usage, and provide customized recommendations for making your home more energy efficient. Here’s a look into our comprehensive process:
- Initial Consultation – We’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and priorities to tailor our energy audit to your specific needs.
- In-Home Assessment – Our team will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, evaluating its energy performance using specialized tools, like blower doors and infrared thermal imaging. We’ll measure energy usage, identify air leaks, assess insulation levels, evaluate HVAC system performance & safety, and more.
- Data Analysis – We’ll analyze the collected data to identify opportunities for energy savings and develop a customized home efficiency plan.
- Recommendations and Report – We’ll return to your home to provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings, a prioritized list of recommendations, and estimated cost savings with available incentives. If and when you’re ready to make improvements to your home, you’ll have a pathway that works best for you and your home’s specific needs.
Energy Audit Benefits for Homeowners
Energy audits provide valuable insight into your home, and our team can use this information to make several recommendations on how you can boost efficiency, enhance your comfort, and improve indoor air quality.
Heating & Cooling Upgrades
Heating & cooling accounts for more than half of a home’s energy usage, which makes it one of the most important areas to inspect during an energy audit. If an HVAC system replacement is needed, we specialize in installing high-performance heating & cooling equipment at Green Team LI, including:
- Air Source Heat Pumps: Ducted & Ductless Mini Splits
- Oil to Gas Conversions for Heating
- High-Efficiency Furnaces & Air Conditioners
Home Efficiency Upgrades
If your home is vulnerable to energy loss through poor insulation and air leakage, even the most advanced heating & cooling system won’t fully solve efficiency problems in your home. This is why insulation and air sealing play such a critical role in home performance. At Green Team LI, we provide several types of insulation and can help determine which is best for your home. We offer:
- Whole-Home Insulation
- Spray Foam Insulation
- Air Sealing
- Attic Insulation
- And More
Solar Energy
Solar energy can provide protection from the rising cost of electricity among many other benefits, however, it’s not a realistic approach for every home in Greater New York. During your energy audit, we’ll pay close attention to the factors that determine if solar is a good choice for your home, including:
- Roof orientation & Size
- Electricity Usage
- Solar Potential
- And More
Get Your Energy Audit Paid for by PSEG or NY State!
New York is one of the most energy efficient states in America, partially due to the numerous incentive programs available to its residents. From NYSERDA and local utility rebates to Inflation Reduction Act incentives, there are several tax credits and rebates available to make upgrading to an efficient or all-electric home more affordable. Many homeowners from East Queens to West Suffolk can even qualify for an audit at no cost!
Energy audits are a requirement for many of these programs because they create a baseline for your home that helps conclude the effectiveness of the upgrades made. The Green Team LI team stays up to date on what incentives are available throughout Greater New York and will go over your options when we go over your energy audit report. We’ve been helping homeowners since 2018 and bring decades of building science experience to our work to help you create a pathway to a healthier, more efficient, and more comfortable home.
