			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best way to figure out how to make your home most efficient is to perform an energy audit.</p>
<p>A professional HERS rater can certify your new home with ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes, or NAHB Green. This way you can be sure that the systems in your home are working together and properly.</p>
<p>Don’t guess. Determine exactly how leaky your home and HVAC system is.  Our HERS rater, or energy rater, will help you identify leaks and make recommendations for highest rate of return for your repairs.</p>
<ul class="list4 list_color_orange">
<li>Envelope leakage is tested and evaluated.</li>
<li>HVAC system and ductwork is inspected, tested and evaluated.</li>
<li>Insulation levels are inspected and assessed.</li>
<li>Windows are evaluated.</li>
<li>Moisture problems are assessed.</li>
<li>Utility bills analyzed.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An energy rater or HERS rater can help you pinpoint areas where conditioned air is leaking out of your home.</p>
<ul class="list4 list_color_orange">
<li>Through use of a blower door and a thermal camera, an energy rater can very quickly help you identify areas that need air sealing measures.</li>
<li>Attic to house connection should be assessed and air sealed.</li>
<li>Crawl space to house connection should be assessed and air sealed.</li>
<li>Can Light Gaskets. Install air tight trim gaskets in all of your can lights; thus reducing the amount of conditioned air leaking past your can lights. These are available at most hardware stores.</li>
<li>Electrical outlet covers with air tight gaskets are also available at hardware stores.</li>
<li>Weather strip door and attic accesses.</li>
</ul>
