Jeff Carmichael of REEis Air Conditioning And Home Performance getting your home ready for summer heat.

Discussion of how a home energy audit is an important step in identifying the conditions in your home affecting comfort and energy efficency. An audit can detect leaky air ducts.

Could mini splits replace air ducts in the future?

An audit can determine significant leakage and pinpoint the locations. Waste of money to have air ducts clean before an audit.

CALLER: Thoughts on adding sun screens around the home for energy efficency. How heat retention is not determined by the color.

PREVIOUS CALLER: A bedroom is warmer that other rooms in the house. Pressure mapping from an audit can determine why its happening.

CALLER: An Arizona homeowner calling from Montana wants to know the ‘magic’ temperature setting for their closed home for the summer. And water evaporation rate for the toilets.

CALLER: Can an audit be done on a one bedroom condo unit?

REEis offering a free evaluation of a home to determine if its worth investing in a home energy audit.

CALLER: Wants to know how they do the leak test.

CALLER: Complements recent work done by REEis on their home.
