A home energy audit can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours to complete depending on the size of your home and your home's heating fuel.

Question 2

Can I schedule a home energy audit, if I already had an audit completed by another company?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. We ask that you let us know prior to scheduling your audit, that you’ve had one completed by another company. In most cases, we don’t need to redo your audit as your previous one can be transferred over to us by the utility company. However, we will have to visit your home to verify the audit data collected by the previous company. Keep in mind that you may have to pay for your energy audit, if the previous company already billed the utility for your audit.

Question 3

How much does an Energy Audit Cost?

Accepted Answer

An energy audit generally costs $400. With the rebate programs that we offer, your utility will cover $300 for your home energy audit fee, leaving you with an out of pocket cost of $100. Some grant programs may offer to pay the $100 fee on behalf of the customer or some utilities may choose to cover more than $300 for the audit fee, leaving the customer with a lower out of pocket expense.
