An energy audit generally costs a few hundred dollars and if you are interested in making energy efficiency improvements to your home, an energy audit is a wise first step in understanding your home's energy savings potential. Energy auditors are trained to understand your home as a whole system and can give you the most appropriate and cost-effective recommendations for home-energy improvements.

The energy auditor will use specialized equipment like infrared cameras and pressure blower doors to locate air leaks and areas where there isn't enough insulation. Not only can these tests identify areas to improve energy efficiency, but they can also suggest ways to increase your home's comfort. Additionally, an auditor's report can inform you on how long various improvements will take to pay off in terms of utility bill savings.
