Around the country, homeowners are scheduling energy evaluations (also called energy audits) in order to learn how to make their home energy efficient and more comfortable. By using an energy consultant, you are hiring a professional who is trained in building science and views the home as a collection of systems working together. Each home is unique, and no one strategy is going to be the best solution for each home. The consultant will provide you an assessment on how efficient your home is, if there are any safety concerns that need addressed, and what cost effective strategies make the most sense for your unique home.
