What We Do
National Energy Audits is focused on performing energy audits and implementing simple, inexpensive solutions that drastically reduce energy bills for homeowners.
We also replace windows and doors with energy efficient replacements. However, we do not install siding and roofing. Contrary to common belief, these factors have very little to do with the actual energy efficiency of your home.
We also don't implement solar systems or geothermal. We focus on performing energy audits and implementing simple solutions that all have a payback period of 1 to 3 years... Guaranteed.
Our audits include various diagnostic tools that are used to determine exactly how inefficient your home is and how much money you're losing each month because of those inefficiencies.
Whether you live in a 1,000 square foot starter home or 10,000 square foot mansion, our audits are a flat fee of $250 and take an average of 4 hours to complete.
Each National Energy Audit includes the following:
Step 1: Blower Door Test
This is a Depressurization Test of the air inside your home. It depressurizes the inside air and allows you to feel exactly where your house is losing energy. As
you walk through your home with the energy consultant you'll be able to feel the air coming through the leaky window and door moldings, leaky wall outlets, recessed lights and under-insulated walls.
"Air leakage is the major cause for energy waste in homes across the United States." - McKinsey Global Institute

Step 2: Thermal Imaging Analysis
With an infrared camera we can literally see through the walls inside your home. This allows us to determine your home's insulation levels and the air flow throughout the home so you can see with your own eyes where your home is losing energy.
Step 3: Duct Leakage Test
Ducts that weren't installed properly or may have been damaged over the years are a major cause of energy loss for homeowners throughout the United States. Our energy consultants use state of the art equipment to test the ducts in your house and determine exactly how much energy and money your losing due to the leaky ductwork.
"The average home wastes 25% of its energy consumption through leaky ducts." - BuildingScience.com
Step 4: Efficiency and Safety Test
Each one of our energy consultants runs tests on all of your home's combustion units. This allows us to see if your boiler or burner is running at its optimum efficiency and not kicking on and off randomly without reason. This also allows us to determine if your boiler or burner is releasing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into your home.
Step 5: Moisture Evaluation Test
Moisture build up is common problem with homes throughout the United States. The moisture not only causes problems with energy consumption, but it can also cause health and safety problems for homeowners. Our energy consultant uses the infrared camera to test every crevice throughout the home to determine if there are any moisture or mold problems due to the inefficient ventilation or improper insulation installation.
Step 6:
After the audit is complete (which normally takes 3-4 hours), our certified energy auditor will compile all the data from your audit and customize various simple solutions for your house. All of our solutions are guaranteed to reduce your energy bills by up to 40% and have a payback period of 3 years or less. The solutions report to Hybrid Your Home will be printed and presented to you on the spot right after the audit.
Step 7:
Upon your decision to proceed with the simple solutions, our own in-house certified energy technicians will implement all of the solutions. No sub-contractors are used. Installation normally takes one day to complete and the company prides itself on ensuring our client's homes are cleaner when we leave then when we arrived.
