turning to energy audit “phantom” energy assessments to help them identify regions in their homes where energy is being wasted or misspent. These assessments are designed to provide homeowners with an understanding of the energy efficiency of their homes, and are an invaluable tool in helping them to reduce their household energy costs.

A phantom energy audit evaluates the efficiency of a home’s major energy-use features such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical systems, insulation levels, and more. Licensed energy assessors (LEAs) are typically required to conduct energy audits, and the assessment process may involve a room-by-room inspection of the home, or the assessment may utilize testing equipment like a blower door and infrared camera to identify air leaks and thermal deficiencies.

The primary benefit of a phantom energy assessment is that it provides homeowners with tangible information on where energy is being wasted so that they can better target specific areas for energy efficiency improvement. The energy auditor’s report includes estimated savings that can be realized through various alterations such as adding insulation, improving lighting, installing efficient water heaters and HVAC systems
