Infrared Cameras spot costly energy leaks

Over the past 25 years the building industry has learned much from science in regards to home energy efficiency and comfort. Many construction practices once thought to be common-sense have since proven to be a big mistake. We have learned about unseen dangers lurking in the home. We have learned how to increase home comfort while simultaneously reducing energy costs.  

  • VENTILATED CRAWLSPACES  - a primary the cause of cold floors in winter weather, foul smelling air and unhealthy indoor air quality, and structural issues such as wood rot.
  • ATTIC INSULATION - most have an insufficient amount insulation, much of which is further compromised due to improper installation practices
  • AIR LEAKS - common construction practices of the past left homes full of tiny air leaks, which, combined together, that suck huge quantities of energy right out of your home, releasing it into the wild-blue-yonder, right along with the money you paid for that energy.  
  • UNCONTROLLED HUMIDITY AND MOISTURE - You would be surprised to learn the many sources of moisture and high humidity inside a modern home. To name a few: groundwater that seeps into crawlspaces and basements, bathrooms, cooking, intrusion of humid outdoor air into the home on hot humid days, and even the occupants which give off tremendous amounts of water vapor by breathing, and evaporation of moisture directly off the skin.
  • RADON GAS - We have learned that one in fourteen American homes has high levels of invisible and odorless radon gas accumulating inside, dramatically increasing the risk of lung and other cancers for the unsuspecting occupants.

Lawson's Home Services' energy auditors are rigorously trained and certified by the Building Performance Institute, a widely recognized organization that is well-regarded within the building and energy efficiency industries. Using the latest technology, such as infrared imagery, depressurization equipment, and a well-trained eye, our auditors quickly find the energy zapping issues that contribute to drafty, uncomfortable homes and unnecessarily drive up your energy bills. 

Homeowners receive an audit report listing the details individually with a financial report that shows the costs of making improvements and the savings extended over time. With this valuable information in hand, homeowners can then make critical decisions as to which improvements will fit their budget and free up money that can be used for other important things.

And here's another great benefit to those who live in Delaware: 90% of the cost of Energy audit is paid for by the Energize Delaware Program subsidy, so you want to jump on this opportunity immediately while the program is still available. 

It makes no sense at all to waste money and be uncomfortable. So why not pick up the phone and call Lawson Home Services to schedule an energy audit for your home.
