Lawson Home Service completed an Energize Delaware Residential Energy Audit at this home in Frankford, DE in September 2023. This home was built in 1981, long before energy efficiency building codes were thought of and put into effect. Looking at this 42 year old home, from the perspective of what is currently known about home comfort and energy efficiency, Lawson Home Services' energy auditor discovered many opportunities to improve the comfort of this home while simultaneously lowering energy utility costs.
The photos below show a few sample pages from the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Assessment Report, which the homeowner received after the audit was processed. The first photo shows a list of each opportunity for improvement, along with financials that show how the estimated cost of the improvement, how long it will take the improvement to pay for itself. The second photo illustrates the anticipated annual utility cost savings for the current year, as well as projections for five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years into the future. These figures prove valuable in assisting homeowners with the crucial decision-making process regarding which improvements to invest in, tailored to their unique situation. The third picture shows how the audit report explains every problem found during the audit in simple words. It's so easy to understand that even a fifth-grader can get it!
Given that Energize Delaware is presently subsidizing home audits, providing a substantial discount for Delaware homeowners, it is advisable to schedule a home audit with Lawson Home Services while the program is still available. Don't delay. Contact us promptly to secure your spot on our schedule.
Ryan Wurzel, one of Lawson Home Services's energy auditors, recently conducted an audit at this lovely home, built in 1981 in Frankford, DE. Homes built in the last century typically leak energy unnecessarily. Often there are uncomfortable rooms in hot and cold seasons. The energy audit is a great way to find these construction flaws and reveal affordable ways to retrofit the home to bring it to modern energy specifications.
During this audit Ryan discovered:
- Air sealing various structural components in the attic allows would prevent conditioned (heated or cooled) air from escaping right up into the attic.
- Attic and Crawlspace insulation could be greatly improved.
- Upgrading to a newer, higher efficiency heat pump, a change from the existing 7.2 HSPF, 11 SEER to a 8.6 HSPF2, 16 SEER2
The audit showed how improvements would reduce the energy bill $1000 annually in 2024, $1500 annually by ten years, and $2500 annually by 20 years. Do the math and you'll find an extra $35,000 in those years you could be using for other things that could increase your quality of life.
And heres the BONUS - currently the Energize Delaware Program still subsidizes these audits so the cost to the homeowner (in 2023) is just $50. ($25 if you are a first responder or military personnel).
It's a no-brainer - Call Lawson Home Services and schedule your energy audit right away.
