⚡️WHY DID THIS HOMEOWNER GET THE ENERGY AUDIT?
Homeowner’s exact reason: Our basement is especially drafty, but want to make sure nothing major is wrong with the house. There was an addition added to the house and the old garage was converted to a new living space that is especially cold in the winter. We’re considering maybe replacing windows at some point in the near future and would like to know which ones are working well and which ones aren’t.
⚡️WHERE WAS THIS HOME ENERGY AUDIT?
This audit was done at a single family home located in Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland 21093 through the BGE Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program.
⚡️WHAT MADE THIS ENERGY AUDIT INTERESTING?
The home had several cantilevers (overhangs) and a lot of recessed lights.
⚡️WHAT YOU MAY LEARN FROM THIS ENERGY AUDIT?
Covering and sealing recessed lights and adding insulation to attics with fiberglass batt insulation can go a long way to solving many issues related to poor comfort and high energy bills.
⚡️KEY TAKEAWAY FROM THIS HOME ENERGY AUDIT:
If you have a lot of ways in which air can escape into the attic (recessed lights) you likely can help solve a cold basement problem.
