An energy audit evaluates how your home is functioning, identifying areas of energy loss and potential safety concerns. Vermont Foam Insulation partners with an independent energy auditor and building science expert to ensure accurate assessments for homes and buildings in southern Vermont and southwestern New Hampshire.
Why You Need an Energy Audit
- Qualify for Rebates and Incentives: Audits are required for many money-saving rebates.
- Discover energy loss: Pinpoint missing insulation, air leaks, and inefficient systems that increase energy bills.
- Improve comfort: Address the root causes of home comfort issues with targeted solutions like insulation or air sealing.
- Ensure safety: Verify combustion equipment safety and prevent potential hazards, such as carbon monoxide backdrafting.
How the Energy Audit Process Works
- Start with a site evaluation from Vermont Foam Insulation to determine if an energy audit is necessary.
- An independent auditor conducts diagnostic testing and provides a summary of the findings.
- Use audit results and Vermont Foam Insulation Proposal to plan upgrades, qualify for rebates, and improve your home’s efficiency and comfort.
- Once insulation work is complete, the energy auditor performs a post work test-out and a rebate check should arrive about 4 weeks later.
Rebates and Savings
Energy audits are essential for qualifying for Efficiency Vermont rebates, offering up to 75% off project costs (up to $9,500 for income-eligible households). Vermont Foam Insulation will guide you through the process to maximize your savings.
