What is a home energy audit and should I get one?
A home energy audit is a professional assessment of your home's energy performance. The auditor uses a blower door test, thermal imaging camera, and visual inspection to identify air leaks, insulation gaps, and inefficient equipment. They provide a prioritized list of improvements with estimated costs and savings. An audit costs $300 to $600 and is the best first step toward reducing energy bills.
Why It Matters
An energy audit eliminates guesswork. Instead of guessing which upgrades to make, you get a roadmap tailored to your home with expected payback periods.
