Planning tips for this checklist
Bring bills and comfort notes
An auditor can prioritize better when utility history, room-by-room comfort complaints, thermostat habits, and recent repairs are visible before the visit starts.
Separate diagnosis from upgrades
The audit should identify problems first, then rank air sealing, insulation, HVAC, windows, appliances, and solar or electrification upgrades by cost and impact.
Turn the report into a buying plan
Use the checklist to compare rebates, contractor quotes, safety notes, expected savings, and follow-up verification before scheduling upgrades.
