Just what is a Home Energy Audit?
A planet orange Home Energy Audit begins with a visit from one of our certified Building Performance experts. What follows is an in-depth examination and analysis of the current state of your home's health, comfort and energy efficiency. Once we analyze the data, we create a customized report that details our findings and an action plan outlining the steps you can take to remedy your home's issues. Next we'll implement those changes, the result being a healthier, more comfortable, more energy efficient home.
STEP 1 - Gather Data
- We start with a free phone consultation to learn about your concerns, goals and some details about your home.
- We meet with you at your home, where our technicians spend 2 to 4 hours using sophisticated equipment to diagnose the causes of energy loss, health problems and discomfort.
- Our audits are among the most complete in the industry. Our experienced specialists inspect over 20 home systems, including heating and cooling, insulation and air leaks, sources of indoor air pollution, and the energy efficiency of appliances, lighting and more.

STEP 2 - Analyze data
- We take the data from our on-site inspection and use a combination of computer modeling and our experience with local homes to determine what balance of repairs, upgrades, and materials will give you the greatest improvement in comfort, air quality and energy efficiency for your budget.
STEP 3 - Create a Customized Action Plan
- We use our analysis as the basis for a customized action plan that is unique for your home, because we know that every home is different.
- If there are several ways to accomplish the same goal, we discuss the options with you so you can decide which one best suits your needs, goals and budget.
STEP 4 - Implement the Action Plan
- We work within your schedule and coordinate our team of fully licensed and bonded technicians to ensure that the work is done accurately, on time and within budget.
- Testing is conducted during and following the work to make sure we've achieved our goal of giving you a healthier, more comfortable, more energy efficient home.

"A+ for their honesty. They could have charged me a lot of money and said that it was their work that made the bugs disappear after a few days! IF I have pest problems in the future, I'll be sure to call Planet Orange first."
