Home Energy Audit

It's important to know how your home uses energy. Before making any efficiency upgrades consider an energy audit

A home energy auditor will:

  • analyze your utility bills to determine your energy consumption
  • conduct interior, exterior, health, and safety inspections of your home
  • assess your electrical system
  • inspect appliances
  • conduct a blower door test 

When all this is done, they will provide you with your personalized energy report including suggestions for making your home more energy efficient. 

The Inflation Reduction Act can get you up to $150 off the cost of your audit when you file your 2023 taxes. See page 107 of the Inflation Reduction Act Guidebook.

Rooftop Solar

The Inflation Reduction Act will help more Americans harness the sun’s energy to power their homes with clean electricity and save big on utility bills. Tax credits are available now to cover up to 30% of the installation costs – and this federal credit can be paired with additional incentives available in many states. The average family will save $300 per year, or $9,000 over the life of the system.

Insulation and Air Sealing

Save on a range of home improvements that reduce energy leakage – keeping homes warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and saving money on utility bills. Insulation material can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 20%, and air sealing (like caulking and weather-stripping) save energy and improve air quality by keeping moisture out. In addition to supporting the upgrades themselves, the Inflation Reduction Act can also cover the costs of home energy audits so that an inspector can identify the best improvement options.

Weatherized Windows & Doors

Save on a range of home improvements that reduce energy leakage – keeping homes warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and saving money on utility bills. Windows can be responsible for 25-30% of heating and cooling energy use, and doors can leak significant amounts of energy as well. In addition to supporting upgrades of exterior windows and doors, the Inflation Reduction Act can also cover the costs of home energy audits so that an inspector can identify the best improvement options.
