This service improves energy efficiency, reduces utility costs, and qualifies for AEP incentive programs.
Energy Audits
Our Basic and Advanced Energy Audits evaluate attic insulation, duct systems, air leakage, and appliance efficiency. Advanced audits use Blower Door Tests, Duct Blaster Tests, and infrared cameras to create detailed reports with prioritized efficiency recommendations for homeowners.
