Chris Kroszner
Senior Home Energy Auditor
Chris is part of the Weatherization Services team and has been working as an energy auditor with BCOC for over 20 years. He has also worked as the weatherization program manager & trainer for other auditors over the years.
"As energy auditors, we inspect entire homes looking for anything that may be causing uncomfortable areas of the home and where there are energy losses. We also look for any health and safety issues that may affect the people in the home. There are several tests we perform to determine the level of energy loss in the home as well as for carbon monoxide, gas leaks, etc. We give contractors a list of work to be done in the home and then monitor and inspect their work.
It is most satisfying as an energy auditor to make improvements to homes and know that the homeowners will be more comfortable, safer, and the fuel and electric bills will be less. A side benefit of the program is being able to pass on information to the homeowner about their home and how to make it work better for them, whether it is heater maintenance, thermostat use, or just habits that will save energy year-round."
