What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us
What Is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit (also called a home energy assessment) is a detailed evaluation of how your home uses and loses energy. Instead of guessing, it uses measurements, testing, and inspections to show where conditioned air is escaping and where outside air, heat, and dust are sneaking in.
During an audit, we assess your building shell (walls, ceilings, attic), HVAC system, ductwork, insulation levels, and common leak points. The result is a prioritized list of upgrades that give you the biggest improvement in comfort and savings for every dollar you invest.
What We Check During Your Energy Audit
A 1st Choice Mechanical home energy audit is designed around how homes perform in Arizona’s desert climate. A typical audit may include:
- Attic and insulation evaluation: We inspect your attic insulation for depth, coverage, damage, and moisture issues, checking whether it provides enough R‑value for our heat and identifying areas that are thin, missing, or contaminated.
- Air leakage and building shell: Common leak points around doors, windows, recessed lighting, attic hatches, and plumbing or wiring penetrations are inspected. When appropriate, blower‑door style testing and thermal imaging can help reveal hidden air leaks and missing insulation.
- Ductwork condition and leakage: Your supply and return ducts are checked for disconnected runs, kinks, crushed sections, and visible gaps. Leaky ducts can waste a significant portion of your cooled air in hot attics before it ever reaches your rooms.
- HVAC system performance: We look at the age, condition, and basic operation of your AC and heating equipment, filter setup, and thermostat usage to see how they interact with the rest of the home.
- Comfort and usage patterns: You tell us which rooms feel uncomfortable, when issues show up, and how you typically use your system. This helps connect the data to real‑world comfort problems.
By the end of the visit, you have a clear picture of how your home is performing—not just a guess based on a utility bill.
Benefits of a Home Energy Audit
A home energy audit is not just an inspection; it is a roadmap. Instead of throwing money at random upgrades, you get a prioritized plan focused on the biggest wins. Benefits include:
- Lower energy bills: By targeting the worst sources of energy loss—like weak insulation, leaky ducts, and major air leaks—you can often cut waste significantly and see real savings month after month.
- Better comfort room‑to‑room: Fixing air leaks, balancing airflow, and improving insulation helps eliminate hot and cold spots, so your thermostat setting actually matches how your home feels.
- Less strain on your HVAC system: When your home holds temperature better and your ducts are tighter, your AC does not have to run as long or as hard, which can help extend equipment life and reduce breakdowns.
- Improved indoor air quality: Sealing up the building shell and duct system helps keep dust, insulation fibers, and hot attic air from being pulled into your living space.
- Smarter, staged upgrades: Your report will outline which projects are most important, which offer the best payback, and how to tackle improvements in phases if needed.
What Happens After the Audit?
After your home energy audit, 1st Choice Mechanical will walk you through the findings in plain language. You can expect:
- A clear explanation of problem areas: We connect the dots between test results and what you feel day‑to‑day—why certain rooms are uncomfortable, why bills are high, and how different issues interact.
- A prioritized list of improvements: Recommendations often include items like adding or replacing attic insulation, sealing ducts, air sealing around leaks, and, in some cases, updating old equipment or controls.
- Options that match your budget and goals: Whether you want to tackle everything at once or break the work into stages, we help you decide where to start for the biggest impact.
Because 1st Choice Mechanical also performs insulation, duct sealing, and HVAC services, you can choose to have one team handle both the diagnosis and the solutions.
