 Comprehensive: the Home Performance Audit
If you are planning to improve your home, the comprehensive audit will ensure
your energy upgrade dollars are spent where they will actually save you money.
It will show you exactly where energy loss occurs, so that you don't waste
money guessing where to upgrade. For instance, replacement windows are the
first thing people think of doing, but they typically don't pay back enough in
energy savings to justify the cost. The comprehensive audit shows you where to
spend your money to save energy.
We perform a whole-house performance diagnostic that includes :
Homeowners who first seal their homes and then add a solar system or other new
equipment save money twice—first by reducing their demand for electricity,
then by powering their houses with a smaller system, at less cost.
Pricing: $500 for homes up to 2500 sf (add 10¢ per square foot for larger

 Basic Audit: Home
Energy Survey
For a limited budget, the Home Energy Survey is a basic review that includes
all of the items from the imtermediate level audit except the house and duct
pressure diagnostic. We still evaluate the building shell condition, windows,
age and condition of equipment, lights, ducts, water-using fixtures, compare
bills against standards, and give you information on what you can fix yourself
or have someone do for you economically.
