FAQ
House Temperature
Insulation Issues:
Poor insulation can result in heat loss, making your home feel colder. Check for drafts around windows, doors, and other openings, and consider adding weatherstripping or caulking to seal them.
Heating System Problems:
Your heating system may not be functioning properly. Check to see if the thermostat is set to the desired temperature, and make sure the heating system is running. If you have a Boiler, it may need maintenance or repair.
Windows:
Single-pane windows or windows with gaps can allow cold air to enter and warm air to escape. Consider using heavy curtains or blinds to provide an additional layer of insulation.
Insufficient Heating Capacity:
If your heating system is too small for the size of your home, it may struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Thermostat Placement:
Ensure that your thermostat is placed in a central location and is not affected by drafts or direct sunlight, as this can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
Closed Vents: Make sure that vents in rooms are open and unobstructed. Closing vents in unused rooms can lead to uneven heating.
Inadequate Sealing of Doors:
Check that exterior doors are properly sealed, and use door sweeps to prevent cold air from entering.
Determining the exact amount of heat loss through different building components (roof, exterior walls, floor, windows, and openings) is a complex process that typically requires a detailed energy audit conducted by a qualified professional.
25% through the roof
35% through the walls
15% through the floors
10% through the windows and window fitment
15% through drafts
Energy Efficiency
A home energy audit with a thermal camera and a blower door kit is a comprehensive assessment of a home's energy efficiency. This type of audit involves using specialized tools to identify areas of energy loss, air leakage, and insulation deficiencies.
A Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment and a home energy audit are both processes designed to evaluate and improve the energy efficiency of a building, but they differ in scope, purpose, and the level of detail involved.
