In the image above, the yellow and red areas show significant heat loss that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Not only is this homeowner paying for the energy being used inside the home, but the energy that is escaping as well! Sounds crazy, right? Unfortunately, it is the reality for a high percentage of American homeowners.

Energy conservation and energy efficiency are large topics in many homes today for several reasons. The economic downturn of 2008 opened many eyes about the potential of energy conservation and energy efficiency, not only on the national level but in almost every residential home in the country and none more severe than in Yamhill County. With increasing energy prices and dwindling energy generation, the need to reduce and save energy has never been more important. As our friends and neighbors are struggling to find jobs to keep food on the table, the need to save money is on the mind of every homeowner.

This is why NorthWest Infrared was started. Our knowledge and expertise viewing a 'home as a system' provides our clients with not only energy savings and money, but also piece of mind. Home performance also provides our clients a sense of security in the knowledge that their home is safe, energy efficient, and cost efficient. For years people didn't know, didn't care, or didn't think about energy efficiency or how much it was really costing.

Why? Because energy generated in the northwest is relatively inexpensive. As a society, we have put many demands on our ability to generate electricity cost effectively and those sources are drying up. As energy costs rise, so does our awareness of energy efficiency and energy conservation. How can we save money in our homes? How do we do that? Why is my energy bill so high? How am I supposed to pay this bill? These are some of the questions that we can answer at NorthWest Infrared.

Just as a "Cat Scan" is designed to scan the human body, our energy audit is designed to scan your home using several different disciplines. Our state of the art Flir infrared camera scans your home for moisture, air leaks, and missing insulation while our Blower Door measures exactly how much air your home is leaking. We also conduct a Combustion Appliance Test which detects any natural gas or propane leaks in the home and a Duct Blaster Test which measures how much air is leaking in your duct work and heating/cooling system.

At NorthWest Infrared we have highly trained certified employees with the knowledge and equipment necessary to find energy dollars escaping from your home or office.

Even newly constructed homes and offices are often found to have gross energy inefficiencies. We as a nation are spending our hard-earned dollars paying power companies every month for wasted energy!
