On the Day of Your Evaluation

Our comprehensive energy evaluation incorporates many types of equipment such as a blower door and a thermal imaging camera. While each home is unique in its style and function, you can expect a our Comprehensive Audit to take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours. Your consultant will inspect the exterior and cover every accessible room inside the home including crawlspaces and attics. The evaluation will likely include:

Homeowner Involvement

• We will go over initial findings before we leave

Exterior Visual Inspections

• Landscaping
• Roof

Interior Inspections

• Inspection of crawl spaces
• Operating the clothes dryer
• Visual inspection of fireplace
• Opening and closing of interior doors (bedrooms, closets, etc.)
• Operating stoves and ovens for CO hazards

Equipment and Tests
