An Energy Audit Performed by a Professional Is an Important Part of the Home Buying Process

Energy audits are a vital part of the home buying process. When selling a home, an energy audit may be required in Austin. When buying a home, an energy audit can tell the potential home buyers whether the home is energy-efficient or not. But this isn’t the only reason to have an energy audit. Read on to find out all about energy audits and how to go about getting one. 

What Is an ECAD Audit and Why Do You Need One?

ECAD

An Energy Conservation Audit and Disclosure (ECAD) is a way to help ensure energy efficiency in homes. This audit is required for every home in Austin that is being sold and hasn’t been audited in the last 10 years. They’re designed to identify ways to save energy in a house or building. They’re performed by professionals and can give buyers the confidence they need in a property, and they can give sellers a leg up over other homes on the market. ECAD audits are always paid for by the seller.

But that’s not all these energy audits are good for. They can also help a home or building improve its air quality. These audits can help home and building owners identify problem areas and address them, thereby increasing energy savings and property value, making the home or building more comfortable for those living or working inside. 

Different Kinds of Energy Audits

There are a couple of different kinds of energy audits that different circumstances call for. There’s the visual audit, which entails a professional inspecting both the outside and inside of the home or building. Austin Home Performance Program uses this type of audit. It will give the homeowner an idea of the building’s overall energy performance, including installation and ductwork. 

Comprehensive energy audits are a more thorough inspection of the home or building. This type of audit includes testing for air leaks, which can be a major factor in inefficient energy usage. This includes air leak testing in both the house itself and the air ducts. These recommendations enable homeowners to enact changes that will allow them to increase energy efficiency, saving them money in the long run.
