Energy Audits

No Fee Energy Audits Available for Access Energy Cooperative Members

Access Energy Cooperative has specialists who perform energy audits and blower-door testing for members at no cost to the member. Our specialist will leave a list of recommendations for the member to consider making for energy efficiency improvements.

Rebates Available for Improvements Recommended in Energy Audits

After members make any of the recommended improvements found in the energy audit, you can submit  "improvement form" which was left with you by the auditor during the audit, along with copies of receipts for the improvements that were made in order to apply for a rebate.

What is a Blower Door Test

Our energy auditors use a process called a blower door test that tells whether or not air leakage is a problem in your home. Air leakage that allows outdoor air into your home can increase heating and cooling expenses by 10–30 percent.

Cracks around windows and doors can contribute significantly to air leakage in your home. With a blower door test and thermal imaging camera, our auditors are able to find air leakage not easily detectable with just a walk-through audit.

Some of the biggest air leaks are found in the attic, around the foundation, and where utilities pass through the building’s outer shell.

Look for Significant Leaks Yourself

Take a bright light into your attic, basement or crawl space, and follow the utilities paths where they pass through walls, ceilings and floors. People often find large air leaks under bathrooms and kitchens where pipes and wires are installed.

In the attic, note where pipes, wires, recessed light fixtures and chimneys penetrate your ceiling. Follow the plumbing and wiring, and you’re on the right track to finding leaks.

What To Do When you Find Them:

When you find openings that allow air to leak in and out of your home, fix them by sealing them with durable materials.

  • For cracks up to an inch, use liquid foam that comes in a can, or stuff fiber glass tightly into the opening.

  • For larger openings, use rigid foam board or plywood, and seal the edges with more liquid foam.

  • If you seal around chimneys, be sure to use fireproof materials such as sheet metal.

Every opening you seal will reduce the amount of heated air you lose in winter and cooled air in summer.
