Energy Efficiency Auditing

About us

TYPES OF INSPECTIONS Buyers Pre-Purchase Inspection- A thorough, visible, non-invasive inspection – intended to identify any major deficiencies in the house. This empowers the buyer to make the right decision and gives the buyer information to negotiate. Pre-Listing Inspection- The same inspection as above but geared towards sellers so that they may know the major deficiencies ahead of listing time. This eases the home selling experience and points out problems ahead of time so that they may fix the problems before listing. New Home Warranty Inspections- This is an inspection for new home homeowners whose building warranties are about to expire. This enables the owner to submit a list to the builder for review or correction. Condominium/Townhome Inspections- The same quality inspection as above but often does not include attics, crawlspaces, or other common, shared areas. Your inspector will look at roof (if accessible) and siding to determine the conditions at the time of the inspection. WHY CHOOSE WASHINGTON HOME AND ENERGY TO PERFORM YOUR HOME INSPECTION? We love helping people find happiness in a home. We have been inspecting, improving, auditing, and remodeling homes for 30+ years. As a customer of ours you can always feel free to contact us with questions about your home. Usually available within 72 hours. American Home Institute Training certified inspector- we use a software generated report from a computer tablet. The state-of-the-art program gives you an easy to read concise report with digital photos inserted into the text where the defect is reported. We email the report to the client within 24 hours. There is no waiting for the report from the mail carrier. All inspections include a Homeowners Maintenance Manual with tips and schedules for keeping you investment sound. Also included is a DVD with instructions on maintaining your home. We are located in Renton WA but will provide home inspections anywhere in the state of Washington (some travel rates may apply). Above and beyond- we surpass the Washington state Standards of Practice (SOP) by inspecting and using: Appliances- most appliances stay in the home after the sale. Heat exchangers- we remove furnace cover and inspect with a mirror for signs of failure (cracking, dirty burners, etc.) if they are accessible. Flame rollout on gas furnace and water heaters- this can indicate cracks in the heat exchanger. Temperature rises in AC and furnace (weather permitting) – this gives us further clues as to what the furnace is doing. Available windows, light fixtures, and outlets- not just a sample Special equipment to scan for moisture, water pressure, and water temperature.For more visit http://www.washingtonhomeandenergy.com

Description of Work: They did an energy audit and everything went well. The only downside was they ran out of CFL bulbs to replace the incandescent ones.

It was a great experience. I called to schedule the audit and he answered right away and scheduled on a Saturday at my convenience. He was very informative and went over what the experience would consist of. He explained everything in detail and showed me what a finished report would look like. He was very informative, allowing me to accompany him around the house as he did his work, showing me what he found. He told me I could expect the report by email within a week, and sure enough, I got the report within 3 days. Very cool experience. I found it interesting, informative, and now the process begins for us to start getting quotes to get some of the work done!
Description of Work: I found out about the Seattle City Light program that pays $305 and you only pay $95 to have your home energy audited.

This involves a test on your doorway, a review of your home to see where insulation is, where you don't have good barriers between your home and the elements, and other reviews and an inspection of the house. Great job explaining the process and informing how different tests will help develop a report I can use to smartly upgrade my home. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to do an energy audit.

Description of Work: Eric provided us with a non-biased evaluation of our house energy efficiency. He took the time to explain everything to us and made sure we didn't have any questions. If you are looking to weatherize your home, start with an energy audit from Eric.
