Question

Can anyone tell me what to expect when haing a home energy audit?

Answer 1

They will walk through the whole house looking for areas of concern, air leaks and insulation problems.  I think they looked to see if I had over loaded electrical plug ins too.

Answer 2

A good energy audit will measure the space of your house, and the area of all your windows. Trey should need to know what type windows, how much insulation in walls, attic, and under house.They should inventory all appliances and get their SEER ratings. The need to look at your heating and air conditioning system and determine efficiency. Sometimes they will also do a infrared survey on all outside walls to look for areas loosing more heat than they should. They should also look for air leaks.

From all this they can calculate the energy you need and which changes will save the most.
