California Energy Auditors
We don’t just inspect your home — we measure it.
Our certified energy auditors use advanced diagnostic testing to uncover hidden energy loss, airflow problems, and comfort issues that most contractors and builders miss. If your home feels uneven, inefficient, or you’re dealing with compliance issues, this is where clarity starts.
The Result: A Complete Energy Performance Profile
By combining airflow testing, thermal diagnostics, duct analysis, HVAC verification, and refrigerant charge confirmation, we deliver a true performance-based assessment — not assumptions.
You’ll know:
What’s working
What’s failing
What’s costing you money
What actually needs to be fixed
All backed by measured data, not opinions.
Our Testing Goes Beyond the Basics
This is where most audits fall short — and where we go deeper.
Most “energy audits” stop at visual inspections and generic checklists.
Ours start where theirs end — with measured performance testing.
At California Energy Auditors, our technicians are heat pump–certified professionals trained under U.S. Department of Energy–recognized programs, with real-world HVAC and energy compliance experience. We don’t guess — we verify.
Refrigerant Charge Verification (A Major California Problem)
One of the most overlooked — and most expensive — issues in California homes is improper refrigerant charge.
Here’s the reality:
A system that is undercharged must run longer to heat or cool your home
Longer run times = higher electric bills, more wear, and reduced comfort
In heat pump systems, improper charge can destroy efficiency and heating capacity
Industry data and field testing consistently show that up to 80% of residential air conditioning, and heat pumps in California are undercharged, largely due to:
Rapid code changes
Poor installation practices
Lack of advanced training especially in heat pump training
This can quietly cost homeowners thousands of $$$$$$ dollars per year in wasted electricity.
What we do:
Verify refrigerant charge using approved diagnostic methods
Identify performance losses tied to improper charging
Document findings so corrective work can be done correctly and confidently
This is not a visual check — it’s technical verification.
🔧 Every Energy Audit Includes Professional-Grade Testing
Our comprehensive audits combine building science, HVAC diagnostics, and energy compliance expertise to give you a complete performance profile of your home.
Included testing may involve:
Blower Door Testing
Measures how much conditioned air your home is losing through leaks in the building envelope.
Thermal Imaging (Infrared Scans)
Reveals missing insulation, air bypasses, hot spots, cold spots, and hidden defects behind walls and ceilings.
Duct Leakage Testing
Identifies crushed, disconnected, leaking, or undersized ducts that reduce airflow and efficiency.
HVAC Performance Evaluation
Confirms:
Airflow delivery (CFM)
Equipment sizing
Heat pump operation
Energy code compliance
System efficiency under real conditions
Refrigerant Charge Verification
Ensures your system is operating at its designed efficiency — especially critical for heat pumps.
Building Envelope Review
Evaluation of walls, attic, insulation levels, windows, doors, and overall sealing integrity.
