Analyze all of the areas of your home where you might be wasting energy and your hard-earned dollars. Some of the areas that an energy audit will examine include:

• Insulation levels in your basement, walls, and attic
• Ventilation in your attic
• Air infiltration through preventable leaks
• Your heating and cooling equipment (emphasis on your air conditioner)
• Your duct system
• Quality of your thermostat

These and a number of other findings, including things like the type of lighting in the home and the type of water-heating equipment being used, are all used to help the auditor determine where the biggest potential energy savings are for your home.
