subject: Home Energy Assessment- Helping To Understand The Gravity Of Energy Consumption [print this page] Urbanization has lead to high energy consumption in the developed as well as developing countries across the globe. It is high time we understood the dangers of over-consumption of energy and live accordingly, keeping in mind the growing population. A home energy assessment , conducted to study in detail about the energy consumption helps us to learn about the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems, along with source and cause of energy loss. Moreover, it gives knowledge about the degree to which energy can be conserved. Also known as home energy audit, this analysis further helps in devising energy efficient methods that ensure low consumption of energy, resulting in saving large amount of money in the long run. Hence, it is advised to conduct energy audits once in a while, with the help of certified and efficient auditors.
Water heaters and boilers are some of the most demanded equipment in the market today. A new innovation has been introduced in the market, in the form of tankless hot water heaters that are considered to be energy-savers with its efficiency. It is uniquely designed and is easy to install and handle. In the conventional water heater, the water is heated and re-heated in a tank, and uses a large amount of energy for the same. However, in the modern heaters, an endless stream of hot water can be acquired without filling the tanks. With a concentric venting system that requires a single penetration for both intake and exhaust, Rinnai tankless hot water heaters and Noritz Hot Water Heaters are preferred among clients. These heaters are installed with e-controllers that help to set precise water temperatures which further add to its qualities. Moreover, it is available in multiple locations, which makes it easily accessible among customers. Being eco-friendly, these heaters are recommended by environmentalists and experts. Nearly 40% of energy consumption can be reduced with the usage of these kinds of tankless heaters that are space and time-effective. It is advised that installation and servicing of the tankless water heaters should be done with the help of a reputed company that has a good experience in the field, along with skilled professionals. Only those who are NATE certified and have an in-depth knowledge of the HVAC system and the latest technology, should be assigned with any work relating to the heating or cooling system in a house. It ensures a smooth performance of the system, without any glitches.
