Going Solar! Why An Energy Audit Is Important?

Going solar is the new must-do for anyone looking to save money on their energy bills. But before going shopping for solar systems, you should have your home or business assessed for energy efficiency through an energy audit.

Solar power produces minimal pollution compared to other energy sources. And with advancements in technology, solar systems have become more efficient and less expensive. This blog post by Royal Roofing & Solar shares the essential information about an energy audit with practical solutions!

What is an Energy Audit!

Energy audits help assess your home or business’s energy efficiency. It can help you find ways to reduce energy consumption and save money. An energy audit will also provide information on the best way to use solar energy to meet your energy needs.

It may feel like an extra step on your way to becoming a responsible citizen of the Earth, but trust us, it’s crucial!

Why Is It So Important?

An energy audit helps to ensure that the system installed on your property is appropriate for your energy needs. The correct sizing of the system means that your present and future energy needs will be met optimally. It also helps determine the best location for solar panels and assess your property’s shading.

Lower Energy Bills

Such an audit will help you trim your energy bill even before installing the solar energy system! It will help you understand how much energy your household consumes and what areas you can improve on to reduce wastage. This can ensure that your energy needs are met after installing the solar system.

Review of Your Electrical System

The energy audit will ensure that your electrical system and wiring are up to par. This is important because if your electrical system can’t handle the solar energy system, it might cause problems. The energy audit allows you to ensure that your electrical system is repaired or updated and is up-to-date on the required codes.

This is an added safety advantage for getting such an audit done.

Installing a solar energy system is a significant investment, but it can pay off in the long run if done right. It’s vital to do your research before making such a big purchase, and an energy audit gives you the opportunity to make the best decision for your home.

Gerry was incredibly helpful, and responsive to all my questions. Walked me through it step by step, and stayed in contact the entire time. When the crew showed up to work, they were fast and professional. Cleaned up thoroughly. It looks like a brand new home. Couldn't be happier with what they did.

Timely call back, and on site responsiveness. Very professional and highly recommended. We suffered wind damage over the weekend. Called on Monday and the repairs were made by noon.

Clint came to inspect a portion of our roof today that we thought needed repair. Turns out, no repair needed. I inquired about solar options as well, which he didn't recommend for our home due to lack of adequate sun exposure. I appreciated his honesty and sincere customer service rather than trying to make money off us. Very kind and respectful. Will definitely keep them in mind for future needs.

We sprung a leak in our kitchen. I reached out to Austin, to have it looked at, and repaired. He had one of his employees swing by the next day, and got it fixed. Very pleased.
