Xcel Energy Audits in Denver – Audit Components
Your Xcel Energy audit includes the following components:
- Blower Door Testing
The blower door is one of our most powerful tools. It allows us to locate and quantify air infiltration and exfiltration. Reducing air leakage is one of the most effective ways to improve your house’s energy efficiency. - Infra-red Imaging
Using an infra-red camera designed for home testing, we can literally “see” the thermal difference caused by air movement and missing insulation. Our infra-red camera allows us to identify problem areas no other test can determine. - Utility Bill Analysis
When scheduling your Xcel Energy Audit, your utility information is compiled by Xcel. This data gives us a baseline for your home's current performance and energy consumption. - Mechanical Systems Assessment
An audit includes a thorough review of the home’s mechanical equipment, including heating, cooling and hot water systems. In addition, we perform combustion air zone pressure testing to ensure that backdrafting is not occurring and adversely affecting indoor air quality. - Lights and Appliance Assessment
During the audit we take note of lights and major appliances in order to provide energy savings recommendations. - Duct Testing
Many Denver area homes have leaky ducts that can increase utility bills and prevent cooling and heating systems from delivering the comfort you need. Worse yet, duct leaks can create air quality problems that affect your family’s health. - Insulation Inspection
Our audit includes an inspection and evaluation of the house’s existing insulation. There are currently rebates available from Xcel in Denver for insulation. - Homeowner Walk-through
Upon completion of the energy audit, we walk through your home with you and explain the issues we discovered. We make sure to answer all questions and discuss next steps.
