Home Energy Audits
Imagine a doctor doing surgery on you before they ever did an x-ray, as funny as that may sound that is how many of us treat our homes. Today more than ever energy is at the forefront but when it comes to solving our own homes comfort and energy needs with simply guess. Before you bought a new furnace or windows wouldn't you like to know how much you are actually going to save, or worse, wouldn't you like to know if that purchase is even going to solve your problem. Would you want to know if there were a less expensive solution your salesman wasn't even aware of. That's why it all starts with an Energy Audit.
1. Informational Analysis
Sometimes just asking the right questions can help us solve many of your questions, because we can't begin to know how to solve your problems until we understand you and your home.
2. Energy Bill Analysis
Wouldn't you like to know what you spend and where? When focusing on solving your energy solutions we don't know where to start until we see how your home uniquely uses energy.
3. Thermal Scan
We use a thermal camera so that you can see where your home is gaining heat in the summer and losing it in the winter. It is a powerful tool that will allow us to see what's going on behind the scenes.
4. Room by Room Analysis
We use a thermal camera so that you can see where your home is gaining heat in the summer and losing it in the winter. It is a powerful tool that will allow us to see what's going on behind the scenes.
5. Blower Door Test
By running the blower door test we can uncover where every leak in the home is, often uncovering air leakage in areas we couldn't imagine. We will also be able to run a report on just how tight your home is.
6. Custom Analysis
After the analysis is done, we will be able to go back to our offices and put together a custom proposal that outlines your home, it's issues and what can be done to solve the problems. What makes us unique is that we are equipped to help all of your energy needs. We will put together a list of all the things that can be done and in an order that is tailored to you and your budget.
7. Implementation
After agreeing upon the solutions to be implemented, our experienced, professional staff begins implementing the improvements to your home. Your home now becomes more energy efficient, comfortable, quieter, and healthier!
Lighting Solutions
Upgrading the lighting in your facilities is a bright idea for any organization. Energy Smart Company has the experience and expertise to deliver a turnkey lighting solution which will positively contribute to your organization's profitability, productivity, and health. Benefits include:
- Cost savings: According to the Department of Energy, lighting typically contributes to 40% of an organization's utility expense. Upgraded lighting technology can use 50% less energy than inefficient lighting. Significant cost savings will also be witnessed through maintenance savings because the upgraded lighting technology has a life expectancy up to three times longer than inefficient lighting.

- Positive Cash Flow: A lighting project can be financed through the Nebraska Dollar and Energy Savings loan program which allows an organization to finance a project at 5.00% APR over a period up to ten years with no upfront capital. This allows an organization to achieve a positive cash flow on any lighting project because the typical payback period is between two to four years.
- Improved lighting levels: The upgraded lighting technology puts out more light even though it uses less energy and it also produces a higher quality light. Most organizations have fluorescent lighting using antiquated magnetic ballasts which creates a rapid "flicker" of light. Energy Smart Company utilizes electronic ballasts which eliminate the "flicker" effect.
- Increased employee productivity: With improved lighting quality comes increased employee productivity. Upgraded lighting technology produces a more comfortable work environment which is proven to decrease eye strain, improve learning capabilities, boost performance, increase retail sales, and reduce the number of headaches.
- Helps the environment: Using less energy helps reduce the amount of pollutants that are released by CO2 producing power plants. Because the upgraded lighting technology lasts three times longer, it puts a smaller demand on America's recycling plants and landfills.
- Government regulations: Inefficient incandescent and T-12 fluorescent light bulbs are being phased out by the US federal government. All inefficient lighting will need to be upgraded due to these regulations. The sooner the upgrades are made the quicker energy savings will be realized.
Upgraded lighting should be a part of any organization's operation. It enhances your profitability by saving on energy bills and by increasing the productivity of your building occupants. Markets we serve include religous, commerical, industrial, municipal, educational, and outdoor. Contact us to receive a complementary free lighting analysis.
