Home Energy Audits

Are you dealing with increasing heating and cooling bills, humidity moisture problems, or drafty windows? We think its okay to be frustrated by the rising costs related to these energy usage problems. It is even okay if this was your main motivation to consider taking a closer look at your energy efficiency.

Our Home Energy Audit takes a holistic look at your home, and helps us create a custom plan to improve your energy-efficiency, which meets your current need to save money now and proves long-term value in ongoing savings and lasting positive environmental impact.

What is a home energy audit?

The Home Energy Audit focuses on these top priorities:

  • Home Safety
    Though not always the most apparent need, the safety of your home is the most important aspect. Positive choices today that are maintained over time will encourage long term health for you and your family. We inspect your home from a health and safety perspective.
  • Comfort
    Investigate the sources of drafts and hold/cold spots.
  • Energy Efficiency
    Create a prioritized plan to make your home more efficient. Ranging from simple DIY projects to more complex home energy modeling.
  • Cost Benefit
    Analyze the cost to make improvements compared to the typically unnoticed reward of long-term savings.
  • Durability
    Identify areas of your home that are susceptible to wear and decay.


Why get your home certified?
The certification process is a perfect way to ensure your home improvements work to achieve your energy-efficiency and health goals. The Earthcraft House Virginia certification process offers the most holistic plan, and successful completion commonly satisfies the criteria for the other certifications, including Energy Star.

Is certification required to make improvements or receive an energy audit?
Many times it makes sense to break down the improvements in stages. Our energy auditing and green building consulting are based on the leading certification plans, so even though you may choose to not pursue the formal certification, you still get the benefits of cost savings and energy-efficiency.
