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:

Exterior Visual Inspections

- Landscaping
- Roof

- Visual inspection of fireplace
- Opening and closing of interior doors (bedrooms, closets, etc.)
