Comprehensive Energy Audits

$299

Green CAT Services is trained and certified to investigate what your home is lacking in the energy sense. Your home operates as a system, with all of its individual components (i.e. windows, insulation, and heating and cooling systems) operating an overall level of efficiency or inefficiency depending on many factors. Before spending money replacing windows, getting a new furnace, or adding insulation, you should have your home or business assessed as a whole.

Comprehensive Energy Audits include a top-to-bottom inspection of your home or business in the energy sense. We'll check levels of insulation, perform a blower door test to test for total air leakage and areas of air leakage, a CAZ (Combustion Appliance Zone) test to test for gas leaks and carbon monoxide levels, a computer energy modeling report of your home, and follow up testing.

Thermal Imaging

$175

Our Certified Thermographer will find images that a normal energy audit won't be able to find. Thermal Imaging uses thermal technology to determine difference in temperature in walls, ceiling, floors, and more areas. If you feel like you're missing insulation, this would be a good test to get.

Efficiency Tune-Ups

$299

We offer an efficiency tune-up for your entire home that includes the following:

  • Perform blower door guided air seal to stop air leaks
  • Test water heater and furnace for carbon monoxide
  • Test batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
  • Set ceiling fans for proper seasonal flow
  • Adjust all storm windows as needed for the season
  • Adjust doors and windows for proper fit as necessary
  • Check outside faucets
  • Inspect lighting for efficiency
  • Review attic insulation levels
  • Check HVAC ducts for proper seling and insulation
  • Inspect furnace filter

Combustion Appliance Zone Testing

$199

Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) testing is an essential part of the audit process. Testing the safety and efficiency of mechanical equipment (furnacce, water heater, some stoves) can save money and even lives. All BPI Certified Building Analysts are required to perform this test as a part of the audit process. If your auditor does not perform this test, they are not doing the audit correctly, and more importantly, may be causign unnecessary safety hazards for your family. The CAZ test includes the following:

  • Depressurization (Worst Case) - This test ensures there is adequate combustion air for the water heater and furnace to operate properly
  • Carbon Monoxide - This test checks the air for carbon monoxide, a by-product of improper combustion
  • Natural Gas Leak - This test checks for natural gas leaks at all pipes and connections
  • Spillage Test - This test checks for spillage of combustion gases and moisture at the hot water heater draft diverter
  • Draft Test at Common Flue - This test checks for negative pressure at the exhaust flues for the furnace and water heater
​
Our Combustion Appliance Zone testing is included in our energy audits, but if you would like it done independently, we offer it as a stand alone service.

Energy Efficiency Improvements

Free Estimates

Green CAT Services is not only a certified energy auditing company, but we do the energy improvements as well. We are here to ensure the job is done properly. If you're trying to achieve the highest levels of energy performance, you have to approach it as a system. Who better to improve your home or business in the energy sense than the people who inspected it? With the knowledge gained from the initial assessment, we are able to produce better results to decrease your utility bills and make you more comfortable. We always encourage clients to receive multiple estimates in order to receive the best value. We may not always be the cheapest, but we make sure we do the job right. We are building scientists first who know where to improve your home or business.

Our services for energy improvements include the following:

  • Air Sealing - Air leakage, or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly air sealing such cracks and openings in your home or business can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment. Most common areas of air leakage are attic bypasses, attic fans, can (recessed) lights, chimneys, rim joists, and frame floors. By preventing air from escaping your home or business, you are also preventing your money from going with it. Reducing air leakage is a relatively low-cost measure in reducing utility costs.
  • Insulation - It wasn't that long ago that insulation was insulation. Today, thanks in large part to keener competition for buyers, rising energy prices, and stiffer building codes, there is a wealth of products designed to create and improve an actual thermal envelope. And the choice for homeowners and business owners is not just which one to pick, but how to combine them to optimize their respective benefits and achieve higher levels of performance. Green CAT Services has had opportunities to work with several insulation products. Through our experiences and heavy research on the subject, we can determine which type of insulation will work best in your home or business. Keep in mind, insulation is only as good as the installer. Sometimes the coice of an insulation material is who can install it to achieve the best results. We are proud to use local materials.
  • Windows/Doors - Windows and doors take quite a bit of space in our homes and businesses. Having the most energy efficient windows and doors is ideal, but if you have older windows, retrofit may be the way to go. Green CAT Services does replace windows and doors, but we also have the ability to retrofit. Adding solar screens, solar films, and storms may be a better investment than replacement altogether.
  • Geothermal, Wind Turbines, Solar - Looking for alternative energy? Green CAT Services works with the best of the best in the business of energy. Whether you want to go completely off-grid or just a few solar panesl, contact us first.

Energy improvements are unique to each home and business, so we offer free estimates for those interested in improving their home or business. Call or text us at 816-206-2191, or click here to schedule your free estimate.
