Are your energy bills creeping up even though you haven’t changed your habits? The problem might be hiding in your walls, ducts, or HVAC system. A professional energy audit from 1CoolAir AC & Heating pinpoints exactly where your home is losing energy – and gives you a clear roadmap to fix it.
Owner Lazard Dominique and our licensed, insured, and bonded team have over 15 years of experience helping homeowners across Southwest Houston and surrounding areas lower their utility bills and improve home comfort.

Think of an energy audit like a physical exam for your home. We don’t just guess where problems might be – we use specialized tools and proven techniques to find them.
An energy audit answers questions like:
Why is my upstairs always hotter than downstairs?
Why are my energy bills so high even with a newer AC?
Why does my system run constantly but never seem to catch up?
Where is my conditioned air escaping?
| What We Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Ductwork leaks | Up to 30% of cooled/heated air can escape through leaks |
| Insulation levels | Poor insulation means your HVAC works twice as hard |
| Air leaks (windows, doors, attics) | Drafts waste energy and make rooms uncomfortable |
| HVAC system efficiency | An inefficient system costs you money every day |
| Thermostat performance | Incorrect calibration leads to wasted run time |
| Ductwork design & layout | Poor design creates hot/cold spots |
| Appliance & lighting (basic) | Older appliances may be energy vampires |
“You can’t fix what you can’t see. We show you exactly where your money is going.” – Lazard Dominique
| Sign | What It Could Mean |
|---|---|
| 📈 High energy bills with no change in usage | Hidden leaks or inefficient equipment |
| 🌡️ Uneven temperatures room to room | Duct issues or insulation problems |
| 💨 Drafts near windows, doors, or outlets | Air sealing failures |
| 🔥 Dusty home no matter how much you clean | Duct leaks pulling in attic air |
| 🎵 System runs constantly or cycles frequently | Oversized unit or air loss |
| 🏠 One room is always too hot or too cold | Duct balance or insulation issue |
| 📅 Older home (10+ years) with original insulation | Materials settle and lose effectiveness |
We don’t just walk through your home with a clipboard. Here’s our complete process:
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Consultation | We discuss your comfort complaints, energy bills, and concerns. |
| 2. Visual Inspection | We examine your HVAC system, ductwork, insulation, windows, doors, and attic. |
| 3. Duct Leak Testing | Using specialized equipment, we measure exactly how much air your ducts are losing. |
| 4. Air Infiltration Check | We locate hidden drafts around windows, doors, outlets, and penetrations. |
| 5. Insulation Assessment | We measure insulation levels and check for settling, gaps, or damage. |
| 6. HVAC Performance Test | We check refrigerant levels, airflow, temperature split, and system efficiency. |
| 7. Thermostat Calibration | We verify your thermostat is reading and controlling accurately. |
| 8. Detailed Report | You receive a written report with findings, photos, and prioritized recommendations. |
| 9. Action Plan | We provide a clear roadmap – from DIY fixes to professional upgrades. |
Time required: 1.5 – 2.5 hours depending on home size.
We don’t guess – we measure. Here’s what we bring to every energy audit:
🔍 Duct Blaster – Measures duct leakage precisely
🔍 Thermal Imaging Camera – Sees hidden temperature differences in walls and ceilings
🔍 Manometer – Measures pressure imbalances in your duct system
🔍 Anemometer – Measures airflow at every register
🔍 Infrared Thermometer – Checks surface temperatures instantly
🔍 Combustion Analyzer (heating season) – Checks furnace efficiency and safety
“Our thermal camera can see what your eyes can’t – hidden gaps, missing insulation, and duct leaks behind walls.”
After our audit, you’ll receive a detailed report that includes:
| Section | What’s Included |
|---|---|
| Executive Summary | Top 3 issues costing you the most money |
| Duct Leakage Results | Exact percentage of air loss – and where |
| Insulation Findings | Current levels vs. recommended for Houston climate |
| Air Leak Locations | Specific spots (windows, doors, attic hatch, outlets) |
| HVAC Efficiency Rating | How your system is performing vs. manufacturer specs |
| Prioritized Recommendations | What to fix first, second, and third – with estimated savings |
| Estimated ROI | How quickly each fix pays for itself in energy savings |
| DIY vs. Pro | Which fixes you can do yourself and which need a pro |
After 15+ years serving this area, here’s what we see most often:
| Problem | How Common | Typical Savings After Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Leaky ductwork (30%+ loss) | 8 out of 10 homes | 15-25% lower bills |
| Low attic insulation | 7 out of 10 homes | 10-15% lower bills |
| Air leaks around windows/doors | 9 out of 10 homes | 5-10% lower bills |
| Return air duct undersized | 5 out of 10 homes | Better airflow, lower bills |
| Dirty evaporator coil | 6 out of 10 homes | 10-15% lower bills |
*Most homeowners recoup the cost of an energy audit within 3-6 months of implementing recommendations.*
