Energy Audits: What They Are and Why You Should Consider One

There’s no denying we can hardly get anything done without access to electricity.  But just because your home has power that works now, doesn’t mean it’s equipped to handle the growing demands we place on it with newer higher efficiency appliances, electric car chargers, and all the other gadgets that require constant power.

What’s Covered During an Energy Audit?

Professionally performed energy audits cover all aspects of your electrical system’s ability to meet electrical demands, both inside and outside of your home.  A licensed electrician evaluates the service coming into your home, checks the health and condition of your electrical panel, and tests for the overall efficiency and power demands of your electrical system.  

Typically, specific needs are discussed during an audit, such as adding an addition to your home.  The electrician can then estimate your power needs and determine if your existing system will be up to the task and suggest upgrades that need to be made to accommodate your project.
