What is an Energy Audit?

• An energy audit is an unbiased Comprehensive Analysis of your home's performance.  By gathering and reviewing data from your home we identify the areas that are costing you the most in money, performance and comfort.
• An energy audit Views your Home as a System and not as individual components.  Many believe that a new heating/cooling system, more insulation, or new windows will dramatically improve energy efficiency or economically reduce energy costs.  This may or may not be true.  Understanding how the whole home (system) interacts and basing decisions on this information will determine the best choices for making your home the best it can be.  

Why should I have an Energy Audit Performed?

• Save Money – Energy costs continue to rise and we can help you reduce your energy waste.  After we analyze your home, we will offer you a list of home performance upgrades based on savings potential and cost.

May perform an analysis on your home to help you decide the best way to get the most out of your money.
