Trusted HVAC Services in Bakersfield, CA 93308 - Kern Energy Raters

A professional energy audit pinpoints the specific reasons for heat pump efficiency loss, which is common here due to our climate and dust. We assess your home's envelope for air leaks and insulation gaps that force your system to work harder, and we check the ductwork for leaks that waste conditioned air. The audit provides a clear roadmap for targeted fixes, helping your heat pump run more efficiently, lowering your energy bills, and extending the system's lifespan.

While a general home inspection provides a visual overview of the HVAC system, it doesn't typically include disassembling units to inspect internal components like evaporator coils. However, at Kern Energy Raters, our combined expertise allows us to note signs of potential coil issues during an inspection—such as reduced airflow or ice buildup—and recommend a specialized HVAC evaluation or energy audit for a definitive diagnosis and cleaning plan.

Combining these services gives you a complete picture of your home's health and efficiency. The inspection identifies safety, structural, and system concerns, while the energy audit focuses on performance and cost-saving opportunities. Together, they address both the common local issue of HVAC strain from dirty coils/heat pump loss and the overall condition of the property. This dual approach helps you prioritize repairs and upgrades effectively, whether you're buying, selling, or simply improving your home for greater comfort and value.
