Home Energy Assessments & Audits FAQs
How much does a home energy assessment cost?
How long does an assessment take?
Typically 1-3 hours on-site, depending on your home’s size and complexity. We’ll give you an exact timeframe during your initial consultation.
What if I just want the assessment, not the upgrades?
Absolutely fine. Many clients get the assessment, take time to plan, and make improvements over time or with other contractors. The report is yours to keep and act on at your own pace.
Will the assessment disrupt my home?
Minimal disruption. We work around your schedule and try to minimize any inconvenience. The blower door test temporarily increases air pressure but doesn’t damage anything.
Do I need to prepare anything for the assessment?
Not really. Just ensure we have access to all areas (attic, basement, crawl spaces). Clear any major obstructions. We’ll handle the rest.
How soon will I get my report?
