Not all energy audits are created equal.
Our home energy audit gives you a clear picture of how your house uses (and loses) energy.
Through a series of in-depth tests, we uncover the best ways to even out temperature differences, lower your energy bills, and cut your carbon footprint.
Our energy audit takes between 2 to 4 hours and results in a custom report with practical recommendations as well as estimates for costs, cash incentives, and tax credits.
What’s Included in a GreenSavers energy audit?

Thermal Infrared Imaging – Uses an infrared camera to reveal heat loss and hidden insulation gaps.
Combustion Appliance Testing – Checks furnaces, water heaters, and other gas appliances for safety and efficiency.
Gas Line Inspection – Detects leaks that could impact safety and energy costs.

We charge $400, which counts as a credit towards any GreenSavers project of $2,500 or more.
Please note that not all home energy audits are created equal. Here are three questions to ask any provider in Portland or Bend:
What diagnostic tests does your home energy audit include?
Does your home energy audit meet Home Performance with ENERGY STAR standards?
Are your technicians certified to perform energy audits by the Building Performance Institute?

We get it, they sound SUPER similar: Home Energy Audit (an “audit) and Home Energy Consultation (a “consultation”). So what’s the difference, and what makes sense for you?
The Main Difference
Whether you start with an audit or consultation, you get a top-to-bottom inspection of your home. The main difference is that an audit includes diagnostic testing with a report. Aside from a visual inspection with an IR camera, a consultation includes neither diagnostics nor detailed reporting.
Home Energy Consultation
Cost: $150
Duration: One to two hours
Diagnostic Testing: Visual inspection with IR Camera Scan
Deliverables: Project Proposal
Home Energy Audit
Cost: $400
Duration: Two to four hours
Diagnostic Testing: Testing (overview here) includes a Blower Door Test, IR Camera Scan, Combustion Safety Test, IAQ Test, and more
Deliverables: Home Performance Report, Indoor Air Quality Report, and Project Proposal

An estimate makes sense for a simple solution. For example, if your water heater is about to fail, schedule a water heater estimate in Portland or Bend.
You should schedule an energy audit if the best solution isn’t obvious. Let’s say your upper floor jumps by five degrees in the summer and falls by five degrees in the winter. What’s the cause? Should you seal air leaks and improve your insulation? How tight should you make your home? What about a ductless heat pump?
During a home energy audit, we dig in to collect the data that you need to prioritize upgrades like insulation, HVAC, and windows.
-
Yes!
Think of it like this - Getting a home energy audit is like going to see your doctor. The doctor learns a lot from the feedback that you give them. Similarly, we learn a lot about your home from the symptoms that you describe and the answers to questions that come up.
Please don’t schedule meetings or plan to run errands during your home energy audit. You’ll learn more about your home and get a much better result by engaging with your consultant.
-
The language is so similar, but a home energy audit from GreenSavers does not include a Home Energy Score.
Anyone planning to sell their home in Portland is required to get a Home Energy Score prior to listing. If you’d like a referral for a Home Energy Score provider, please give us a call at 541.330.8767.
