Energy Audits- FAQ: What Is the Difference Between A Comprehensive Home Energy Audit

And A Walk Through Assessment?

Over the years a number of firms have developed "energy audit" offerings that amount to a site visit and some guess work based upon a home's readily visible characteristics.  While this sort of service has typically been thrown in with a sales call, or priced on the basis of a couple of hours work, it differs from a comprehensive home energy audit.  A comprehensive home energy audit involves data collection, the use of diagnostic tools to identify issues that are not readily visible and an analysis of the cost effectiveness of potential improvements, among other things.
