One of our energy auditor’s will assess your homes energy performance by examining the homes exterior, each of its rooms, and key components like the heating and cooling systems, water heater, appliances and lighting. The energy auditor will also review your past utility bills.
Time: Most assessments take a few hours. Factors that affect the time include the type of assessment requested, the size of your home and the types of fuels used in your home.
Cost: The lowest cost assessments start around $250 and rely primarily on a visual examination. More expensive assessments, from $500 to $1,000, reflect the cost of additional services that help pinpoint energy issues and opportunities. Common additional services include a blower-door test to determine the airtightness of a home, infrared scanning to help identify air leakage and combustion safety testing for homes with natural gas heating and appliances.
Results: You will receive a written report within a few days of the assessment that summarizes the energy auditors findings and describes recommended improvements, including estimated costs and cost savings. We also offer making the improvements needed at an additional charge.
