What Does a Home Energy Audit Entail?

The energy auditor you select will walk through your home with you. A full professional audit will test your home and your ducts for leaks that you probably don’t even know existed.

After your home walk through, you should receive a report with a prioritized list of improvements that could reduce your energy bill and/or make your home safer or more comfortable.
