Sacramento Home Inspection | Folsom Home Inspector

Sometimes it pays to have an energy expert tell you how to make your home more energy efficient. During an energy audit, a professional inspector from Golden State Home Inspections normally will visit your home to identify potential energy-saving measures.

They'll peer into your attic. Measure the depth of the insulation. Crawl under your house. Check seals around windows and doors. Check your appliances. Count your windows and check to see if they're double-paned. They'll usually prepare a written report explaining what needs to be done to your home to reduce your energy consumption.

Steps To Getting A Home Energy Audit

For HOME OWNERS & HOME BUYERS:

STEP 1 INSPECTION
A certified energy inspector examines and measures the home and finds all opportunities for energy savings.

STEP 2 DETAILED ANALYSIS
Specialized software produces a Report which shows savings and costs for energy efficiency improvements.

STEP 3 IMPLEMENTATION
The Report provides access to a contractor referral service and a direct line to an energy expert.

STEP 4 FINANCING
Each Report lists the group of improvements that, when financed, will save more than they cost.

For REALTORS:

Here at CMC we understand that all homes that are over 15 years old cost a lot more to operate because energy technology has changed so fast. This can make selling an older house more difficult.

Nationwide, homebuyers are looking beyond the cosmetic to ensure their property has sufficient insulation, good windows, a reliable heating and cooling system and other current energy technology measures in place. Savvy buyers know that homes with todayÂ’s energy technology have a greater resale value, are more comfortable, winter and summer, and help to control unpredictable energy bills.

When representing the seller, consider a Tune-uP® Report to show to prospective buyers, or have the house put in top condition so it sells faster and for a higher price.

With a Home Energy Tune-uP®, you provide the peace of mind that can make the sale. People are concerned that older homes may be less comfortable and will have high energy bills.

The Tune-uP® Report gives your clients the information they need to make an educated decision, and lists the upgrades whose energy savings will pay for the investment.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades Pay For Themselves

In most cases, energy efficiency upgrades pay for themselves in a few years through energy savings.

Customers with no money to invest can still afford to invest in energy improvements by financing those items whose monthly energy savings are greater than their costs.
Customers who want to make a wise investment can implement all recommended upgrades to increase home comfort and value further, and to obtain a good non-taxable return.

Can the investment be financed on the mortgage?

Yes! A new instrument, the Streamline(k) mortgage, covers small repairs up to $35,000. For conventional loans, it is up to the lender. We recommend Sierra Capital Mortgage.
