Questions to Ask Your Energy Auditor

Questions to ask your auditor before the audit is done.

• Do you make an actual model of my house?
• Does the model include the precise measurements of the wall surface area, volume, window size-type-and orientation, area measurements of the sloped ceilings as well as the flat, and the yearly heat loads of the heating system?
• Do you calculate the winter, summer, and annual air change per hour of the home?
• Do you do a worst case combustion air zone test before and after the work is done?
• Do you do a draft flue test before and after the work is done?
• Can you provide me with a before and after air leakage graph to show the improvement in air sealing?
• Do you recommend high ticket products for the energy efficiency upgrade that you don't sell?
• Do you have advanced training in energy work such as HERS or LEED?
