Energy Audits and Retrofits
Cromwell Electrical is a national leader in energy audits, energy retrofits, and other energy efficiency testing and contracting. This includes electrical work associated with installing new appliances like furnaces, as well as additional upgrades like insulation improvements. We can identify any efficiency-stealing issues with your home or building and perform an energy retrofit guaranteed to increase energy efficiency and sustainability.
Having a residential or commercial energy audit done on your property can identify common issues that reduce energy efficiency and lead to higher utility bills. After an energy audit identifies issues, an energy retrofit is the next step to resolve them. Most buildings contain surprising opportunities for savings if done in the right order.
How an energy retrofit works
After an energy audit prioritizes efficiency improvements, the experts in Cromwell ’s construction services team carry out these improvements to increase your comfort and realize your potential energy savings. Whether you are a homeowner or a commercial building manager, a professionally done energy retrofit can pay for itself through energy savings in a few short years all while improving the comfort of occupants living or working there.
Energy retrofits can improve energy efficiency and often pay for themselves.
Components of an Energy Retrofit
Energy retrofits can encompass many improvements, from small to large. Some common upgrades include:
Insulating attics, roofs, basements, and crawlspaces
Upgrading furnaces, air conditioners, and hot water heaters
Weatherproofing/sealing openings in walls
Upgrading lighting
Installing smart electrical panels and energy monitoring systems
Installing solar panels, battery backups or generators, and electric vehicle charging systems
With the hot summers and cold winters in Kansas and Missouri we spend a lot of our energy heating and cooling our homes and buildings. Even a light energy efficiency retrofit of a commercial or residential property can yield amazing results. Older buildings can really benefit from building envelope and insulation upgrades that also make a building much more comfortable to live in. Additional low-hanging fruit includes lighting upgrades, smart energy systems, and weatherproofing.
