Home Energy Audit & Efficiency Service

Home energy audit and efficiency services assess home energy performance and implement improvements - performing blower door tests, thermal imaging, air sealing, insulation upgrades, and energy-efficient HVAC helping reduce energy costs.

Energy efficiency growing priority.

Energy audits cost $300-$800 while efficiency improvements range from $2,000-$20,000 with 35-50% margins on improvements.

Performing 100-200 audits annually with 50% converting to improvements generates $150,000-$500,000 in revenue with combined margins of 35-50%.

Target clients include homeowners with high energy bills, home buyers wanting efficiency, utility rebate programs, real estate transactions requiring audits, green building projects, and homes with comfort issues.

Services include comprehensive home energy audits, blower door and pressure testing, thermal imaging and air leakage detection, air sealing and insulation improvements, duct sealing and HVAC efficiency, and utility rebate coordination.

Success requires BPI or RESNET energy auditor certification, diagnostic equipment (blower door, thermal camera), understanding building science and energy, working with utility rebate programs, selling audit findings into improvements, and potentially combining with HVAC or insulation business.

Many energy auditors earn BPI Building Analyst or HERS Rater certification, work with utility programs offering subsidized audits, convert audit clients to efficiency improvements, potentially partner with HVAC contractors or insulation companies, market energy savings and comfort benefits, and differentiate through diagnostic equipment and expertise.
