Energy Audits in Glendale - Find Out Where Your Money's Going

We'll show you exactly where your home's losing energy with thermal imaging and diagnostic testing. It's the smart first step before any insulation upgrade - and honestly, you'll be surprised what we find.

Why Start with an Energy Audit?

Here's what we see all the time: Glendale homeowners jump straight into insulation work without really knowing what's going on in their attic. Big mistake. An energy audit shows you the hidden stuff - air leaks in weird places, insulation gaps that are costing you $300-400 a year. You can't fix what you can't see.

Once we know where energy's escaping, you'll know exactly what to tackle first. No guessing. No wasting money on upgrades that won't make a difference. Just straightforward recommendations based on what we actually find in your home.

  • Find the Leaks

    We'll pinpoint exactly where your AC is escaping and where that summer heat's sneaking in.

  • Know What to Fix First

    You'll see which upgrades actually matter before you spend a dime. No more guessing.

  • Qualify for Rebates

    Most utility rebates require an audit first. We'll give you the documentation you need for GWP and state programs.

  • Skip the Stuff That Doesn't Matter

    Why pay for upgrades that won't move the needle? We'll tell you what's worth it and what's not.

Here's What We Check

We bring the real equipment - thermal cameras, blower doors, the works. Takes about 2-3 hours, and you'll know exactly what's going on with your home.

Thermal Imaging Inspection

Using advanced infrared cameras, we create detailed heat maps of your home's exterior walls, ceilings, and floors. These images reveal temperature differences invisible to the naked eye - showing exactly where insulation is missing, compressed, or damaged.

  • Detect missing or deteriorated insulation
  • Identify thermal bridging through framing
  • Locate moisture intrusion areas
  • Visualize air leak pathways
  • Document conditions before improvements

Blower Door Testing

This diagnostic test measures how much air leaks in and out of your home. We install a calibrated fan in an exterior doorway, creating a pressure difference that exaggerates air leaks. Combined with thermal imaging, this reveals every gap, crack, and penetration allowing conditioned air to escape.

  • Quantify total air leakage (CFM50)
  • Calculate air changes per hour
  • Compare to building standards
  • Pinpoint specific leak locations
  • Measure improvement after sealing

We Get Up There and Look

Our auditors crawl through your attic, check the crawlspaces, and inspect around HVAC equipment. We're looking at what insulation you have, how thick it is, whether it's doing its job. We also check for ventilation problems, moisture issues, and rat damage - you'd be surprised how often we find that in Glendale homes.

  • Measure existing insulation R-values
  • Check for proper attic ventilation
  • Inspect air sealing at penetrations
  • Assess ductwork condition
  • Identify safety concerns

Duct Leakage Assessment

Leaky ductwork in unconditioned attic spaces is one of the biggest energy wasters in Glendale homes. We evaluate your duct system for air leaks at connections, assess insulation levels, and identify opportunities to improve delivery of conditioned air to living spaces.

  • Locate duct connection leaks
  • Evaluate duct insulation levels
  • Check supply and return balance
  • Assess duct routing efficiency
  • Identify reconnection opportunities

What You'll Get From Us

You'll walk away with a written report that shows everything we found. Use it to plan your upgrades and submit for rebates.

Current Performance Analysis

Detailed documentation of your home's current energy performance including air leakage measurements, insulation levels, and thermal imaging photos.

Problem Identification

Clear explanation of each issue discovered, where it's located, and how it impacts your comfort and energy bills with supporting evidence.

Prioritized Recommendations

Specific improvement recommendations ranked by cost-effectiveness, with estimated costs and projected energy savings for each upgrade.

Rebate Documentation

Formatted reports meeting requirements for SoCalGas, SCE, and other utility rebate programs plus guidance on available incentives.

Energy Audits and Incentive Programs

Many rebate and incentive programs require professional energy audits as a prerequisite for funding.

Utility Company Rebates

SoCalGas and Southern California Edison offer significant rebates for insulation upgrades, but many require documented baseline energy assessments. Our audits provide the before-and-after documentation needed to qualify.

Up to $1,500 in rebates

Federal Tax Credits

The Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits for home energy improvements. Energy audits themselves may qualify for credits, and documented improvements based on audit findings can yield substantial returns.

30% tax credit potential

State Programs

California's various energy efficiency programs, including the Energy Upgrade California initiative, often require BPI or RESNET-certified audits. Our certifications meet these program requirements.

Additional incentives available

Energy Audit FAQs

How long does an energy audit take?

Usually 2-3 hours for a typical Glendale home. If you've got a bigger place or unusual construction, it might run a bit longer. We'll work around your schedule.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Just make sure we can get to your attic hatch - move any boxes or whatever's blocking it. If you've got recent GWP bills handy, that's helpful too. We like to compare what we find with your actual usage.

Can't I just do this myself?

You can spot the obvious stuff, sure. But the blower door test and thermal camera? That's where we find the real problems. Plus, you'll need our documentation if you want those utility rebates.

How soon will I see savings?

You'll feel the comfort difference right away after we fix things. Energy bill savings usually show up in your next bill or two. Give it a full year to really see the impact across all seasons.
