While hiring a service to assess your home's energy efficiency might sound like an unnecessary expense, it could be one of the smartest investments you make this winter. In Massachusetts, you don’t even have to pay for this valuable service—home energy audits are completely free, thanks to state programs.

Trying out energy-saving strategies without a professional assessment often leads to guessing where the problems are. For example, you might spend money on weatherstripping when only new insulation can resolve the issue. Without pinpointing the exact inefficiencies in your home, you risk ongoing discomfort and rising energy costs despite your efforts.

How a Free Energy Audit Works

A professional home energy audit uses advanced techniques, like thermal imaging, to create a detailed report of your home’s inefficiencies. Trained energy auditors then provide actionable steps to improve your energy use. These might include sealing air leaks, upgrading insulation, or improving your HVAC system. By implementing their recommendations, homeowners often see energy savings of up to 30%.
