FAQs
How can a building energy audit from The AC Doctor help with my old, inefficient HVAC system in NYC?
An energy audit acts like a full health check-up for your building's HVAC system. Our experts will assess your aging equipment and entire duct network to identify specific inefficiencies—like an overworked compressor or leaks in those old ducts—that are driving up your Con Edison bills. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, whether it's targeted repairs, duct sealing, or guidance on smart upgrades, so you can make cost-effective decisions to improve comfort and efficiency.
My NYC apartment has hot and cold spots. Could leaky ducts be the cause, and can you fix them?
Absolutely. In many New York buildings, ductwork runs through unheated spaces like ceilings or walls. Over time, seams can separate, causing conditioned air to leak out before it reaches your rooms. This is a common culprit for uneven temperatures and high energy waste. Our audit pinpoints the location and severity of these leaks. We then perform professional duct sealing using mastics and specialized tapes, restoring proper airflow to every vent, balancing your system's performance, and helping to lower your energy costs.
What should I expect during a building energy audit for my NYC home or business?
Our comprehensive audit is a non-invasive process. Our technician will review your energy bills, inspect your HVAC equipment (furnace, AC, boiler), and perform a blower door test to assess your building's overall airtightness. We'll also inspect accessible ductwork for leaks and use tools to measure airflow at vents. You'll receive a clear, written report explaining where energy is being lost, the potential savings from repairs or upgrades, and a straightforward action plan tailored to New York's climate and your specific building.
