An energy efficiency audit is only as helpful as the process behind it. A real audit doesn’t rely on “best guesses”—it uses a repeatable checklist and diagnostic testing to pinpoint where energy is being wasted and what improvements will make the biggest difference. For homeowners and builders in the Kansas City, MO metro, Central Energy Audits describes a clear, performance-based approach: consultation, advanced testing (including blower door testing, duct leakage testing, a

Learn how uncontrolled air leakage can add moisture to a Kansas City home—and how blower door testing, air sealing, ventilation, and HVAC sizing work together.

Learn when a Manual J load calculation is especially useful—and how Manual J, S, and D work together to support properly sized equipment, airflow, comfort, and humidity control.

Understand what Manual J, Manual S, and Manual D each do—and how properly calculated equipment and ductwork support comfort, airflow, efficiency, and humidity control.

If your home feels damp while the AC is running, HVAC sizing may be part of the problem. Learn how humidity, Manual J load calculations, ventilation, and a whole-home energy audit work together.

Our homes are constructed with air leakage rates below 3 ACH50, making mechanical ventilation essential for healthy indoor air quality. The key is pairing a tight building envelope with balanced ventilation, moisture management, and properly sized HVAC equipment.

High indoor humidity, condensation, and musty odors can point to more than an HVAC problem. Learn how a whole-home energy audit can help uncover the source.
