• Generally, if we talk on average, every American
  household spends about 2500 per year on energy
  costs. Primarily the energy is used by the HVAC
  system to cool or heat your home, lighting, and
  other appliances in the house. The total energy
  cost for the year depends upon your uses, the
  fuel you use (it may be electricity, from oil,
  and propane to wood in the fireplace), and its
  cost in your area.
• No matter which energy fuel you use, the cost is
  increasing daily. To save on your energy bills,
  you should conduct a professional home auditor to
  know about the energy uses and energy-saving
  opportunities. The professional home energy
  audit or home performance audit is not just
  limited to energy saving this audit will also
  assess health and safety issues in your house.
  Here are a few reasons why you should conduct
  a professional energy audit.

  audit, you will have complete data about your
  houses energy usage.

  opportunities, and the professional you hired for
  the audit can also help you with potential
  energy-saving opportunities.

  effectively. When you fix insulation and air
  leakage, use maximum daylight and upgrade to
  energy-efficient appliances, the environmental
  impact will be reduced.
• Lots of energy is used by the HVAC system for
  cooling and heating. After the energy audit, you
  can fix the improper insulation and leaky windows
  to save energy.

  for electrical and other hazards. The

• Process of Home Energy Audit
• In simple words, a home energy audit means the
  assessment performed to check your homes energy
  consumption so that the problem can be rectified
  quickly and you can save on your energy bills by
  making your home more energy efficient. The
  professional will check everything from
  electricity usage to the appliances you are
  using, from the condition of your house to
  electric fittings and from insulation to air
  leaks.
• Those professional energy auditors will take the
  help of advanced devices. With their years of
  expertise, they will provide you with a list of
  suggestions and measures you can take to make
  your property more energy efficient. Talking
  about the time, this professional energy
  audit may take up to 2 hours, depending on the
  size of your house. 
• Firstly, the professional will examine your
  property from the outside and calculate the
  number of doors, windows, walls, and more. They
  will see if they can find any issues inducing
  leaks. Then they will inspect the insulation of
  your house and check whether it is correctly
  installed.

• The professional energy audit also includes the
  examination of the furnace the auditor will
  check the filter in the furnace, and if there is
  any problem, they will suggest the replacement of
  the filter, and if your furnace is too old, then
  they can also suggest you for the complete
  upgrade. Your water heater will also be checked
  because it is on the list of appliances that
  consume the most electricity.
• Examination of the ducts connection is also an
  important part of an energy audit the auditor
  will check your duct for any leaks where you may
  be losing heat and energy. If you have hired a
  good professional auditor, then your professional
  energy audit may also include the blower door
  test to check the air leaks.
• The auditor will suggest switching to LEDs or
  CFLs after the audit if you use the standard
  incandescent light bulbs.
• The professional energy audit includes lots of
  things. All cant be explained here. The steps in
  the energy audit may also depend upon the tools
  your auditor has we suggest you always go with
  an experienced professional energy auditor.

• Is An HVAC Professional Energy Audit Worth Going
  For?
• The HVAC energy audit is the more detailed type
  of professional home energy audit we have
  explained above. In an HVAC energy audit, the
  auditor will only check the appliance used for
  heating or cooling your home, including fans,
  vents, ducts, heat pumps, air conditioners and
  other parts of the HVAC system. When your HVAC
  system gets old like if you have been using the
  same unit for the last 8 to 10 years, it becomes
  less efficient with time. By conducting the
  audit, you will get an idea about the problems in
  your HVAC unit. You easily fix the rectified
  problems and save more.
• While conducting the heat and cooling load
  calculations, the professional will first check
  for the air filters for blockages and ducts, then
  go to the thermostat and check for the settings
  you can also change the thermostat setting
  according to the climate in your area. The HVAC
  energy auditor will also inspect your ductwork
  thoroughly to check for leaks, and if they find
  anything, they will patch and insulate it.
• Highly recommend you go for the HVAC residential
  energy audit if you are spending lots on energy
  bills and think that bill is more than what you
  are using.
