Energy Audits are very popular and great for the Diy Green Market. Did you know that most Residential Home Energy Audits cost between a few hundred dollars to $300 or even more? And that the home energy audit industry is booming! People are paying a lot of money to have someone tell them where their house is wasting money.
As if the $300+ cost isn't enough, these so called "professionals" are usually just wanting to sell you expensive home improvements. They package this as a benefit to you in using their services, but it is really just a well planned out "sales pitch" to get you to buy new windows, doors, insulation, HVAC or other expensive improvements.
In most cases these expensive fixes save you minimal money and the time to recapture your investment is 10 or more years. This is crazy! As a homeowner who is trying to save money, you should be focusing on the improvements that will give you the biggest bank for the buck. Don't get me wrong, if you need a new furnace, then get one. But you should look at all of the energy audit results and decide which improvements are going to give you the best return on your investment.
