Pictures from energy audits
Here are a few of the not so good things we come across in an energy audit (next post will be good things) 😉
Indoors gutter – a novel way of solving a leak around the chimney flashing; just put the gutter inside the attic
Disconnected duct; nicely heating the crawl space, while the bedroom stays cold.
– Gas leak – surprising how often we find gas leaks – some have been there for years and the owner knows about them. Rule of thumb – if you can smell ANY gas it’s a leak that needs to be looked at
Asbestos pipe insulation – common around older steam heat pipes. It’s not a big problem unless split like here. You don’t want the asbestos fibers able to float free if the insulation is disturbed
End view of asbestos pipe insulation – if the pipe is knocked fibers can escape. It’s called “friable”
