Understanding Energy Savings and the Efficiency Rating of Heating and Cooling

According to a recent Department of Energy report, heating and cooling systems make up about 48% of the energy used in the average US home. With a colder winter or hotter summer, it wouldn’t be a surprise if that number was higher. Products like a gas furnace can offer an efficiency rating of 97% annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). An AFUE of 90% means that 90% of the energy in the fuel becomes heat for the home and the other 10% escapes up the chimney and elsewhere.

While there isn’t much we can do about how cold or hot the weather gets outside, you can prepare your house to perform at its peak efficiency.

What to Expect During Your Energy Stars Home Energy Assessment

A good energy assessment reveals where you are losing energy/comfort and gives your home contractor a solid foundation to build a plan. An oversized system will turn on and off more often and this takes more energy to run. Our step by step process finds all the ways your home is wasting energy and losing comfort. Then we provide a customized plan to fix these solutions. Other things Energy Stars inspects during home analysis includes:

  • Examining current insulation levels in your home

  • Inspecting current A/C, furnace, or heat pump settings

  • Blower door testing to check ventilation in home and help locate air leaks

  • Getting a history of the home including age and type of building materials used

  • Inspection ductwork system’s return and airflow capacities and design
