What Is a Home Energy Audit?
Your home constantly uses (and loses) energy through heating, cooling, insulation, and airflow. A professional home energy audit identifies where that energy is wasted so you can improve comfort, lower utility costs, and extend the life of your HVAC system. At Green Scene Home Inspections, our certified inspectors use advanced tools and decades of experience to evaluate your home’s overall efficiency.
What We Check During an Energy Assessment
Comprehensive Energy Performance Review
Our inspection covers every major area that impacts your utility bills and comfort:
-
Insulation thickness and coverage
-
HVAC system efficiency and ductwork performance
-
Window heat transfer and air leakage
-
Electrical and water usage patterns
-
Air leaks in doors, walls, and attic spaces
-
You’ll receive a detailed written report with actionable recommendations to help you make smart upgrades.
Why Schedule an Energy Assessment?
Save Money and Improve Comfort
Small improvements — like sealing ducts or adding insulation — can cut annual energy costs by 10–30%.
Boost Home Value and Eco-Friendliness
Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and qualify for rebates and incentives.
Extend HVAC Lifespan
A tuned and balanced system runs smoother, saving you from premature repairs.

This report will show you problems that, when corrected, may save you significant amounts of money over time. You’ll receive a written report with suggestions for improvements. This service can be added on to a standard inspection, or it can be performed as a stand-alone service.
If you are needing a more in depth Energy Audit (for Energy Certification in your particular city for new home construction or a renovation project), we can refer you to one of our Partner Vendors to complete that service. Let us know how we can help!
