Seattle City Light offers discounted energy audits at $95 per audit through a rebate program for its customers. For now, if you're a Puget Sound Energy customer, you can get a $350 rebate for having your home audited. Contact PSE to find out how to take advantage of this rebate.

Audits vary depending on the size of a home, but auditors in the Seattle area normally charge around $600 for a 2,000 square foot home with a gas water heater and gas furnace. With PSE’s rebate, an audit would cost around $250, which can easily be recouped in savings on your utility bills after you make some of the simplest upgrades the auditor suggests, like air sealing and insulating.

If you'd like to get a general idea of how your home performs and what you might want to do to improve it, use our quick and easy online energy audit tool.
