Doesn’t My Utility Company Offer Energy Audits?
At one point the local utility companies offered a limited energy evaluation. For the most part their inspection was limited to their checking your stove, water heater, and boiler to make sure they were working properly. The inspection took all of 15 minutes and there was no report. When electricity and natural gas got deregulated, the utility companies had to cut their budgets and they stopped offering this limited inspection. I was told I can get a Free Energy Audits. The people that offer free energy audits are making their money by trying to sell you oil or by selling you services they offer. Most of these inspections are done by oil companies that only inspect your oil burner.
