A home energy assessment, also known as an energy audit, is a comprehensive evaluation of a home's energy efficiency, comfort, and safety. A certified professional, often BPI-certified, conducts the assessment using specialized diagnostic tools such as a blower door test to measure air leaks and a thermal imaging camera to detect insulation gaps. The process includes inspecting HVAC systems, ductwork, windows, doors, and appliances to identify areas where energy is wasted. Assessors also evaluate indoor air quality, ventilation, and moisture control to ensure a healthy living environment. After the assessment, homeowners receive a detailed report with recommendations for improvements, such as sealing air leaks, upgrading insulation, or replacing inefficient heating and cooling systems. These upgrades can lead to lower utility bills, increased home comfort, and potential rebates or incentives from energy efficiency programs.
