Nick Hindley is a nationally certified BPI (Building Performance Institute) Building Analyst and Envelope Professional.

PAHEC ( PA Home Energy Consultants) is a subsidiary of Environspec Ltd. Owned and operated by Nick Hindley. PAHEC is providing complete home energy audits for new and existing homes to assist in identifying & locating energy loss due to poor insulation practices as well as air by-pass.

Due to the unprecedented rise in the cost of oil, home energy costs have almost tripled in the last few years. With this increase of fuel & energy costs, home heating bills are enormous.

Depending on the age and type of the home, a home energy audit will help identify areas of energy loss that could result in savings of up to 20-30% of the annual home energy cost.

Blower door testing together with infrared technology enables us to perform a full assessment of the home or building. Once the areas of air bypass and heat loss are identified, the home owner will be able to have the conditions corrected. After all improvements are made an exit blower door test is performed to assess the measures taken and to verify proper and safe operation of all combustion appliances and HVAC systems.

The Home Energy Audit is a complex evaluation of a building utilizing modern techniques and comprehensive testing equipment.

The audit includes:

An evaluation of the building's insulation and thermal condition.

Evaluation of heat loss due to building air bypass's

Evaluation of energy use.

Evaluation of appliances.

Duct testing for heat air flow balance and efficiency. Duct condition and air bypass's.

Comprehensive exterior inspection to evaluate potential energy loss problems.

Combustion appliance efficiency testing.

Infrared testing by a certified international thermographer.

On completion of the audit you will have a first hand knowledge of the improvements and measures needed to assist in conserving energy.

A full written report outlining the results will be compiled on completion of the inspection.
