For homeowners

Lower bills first. Smarter upgrades. Incentives mapped, not promised.

Utility bills keep rising. The most impactful upgrades — HVAC, envelope, water, appliance sequencing — rarely happen in the right order. Federal, state, and utility incentives can offset cost when claimed correctly, but those rules change. A home sustainability assessment tells you where the bill savings actually are before you spend.

Pricing bands

The full assessment, by home size.

Honest positioning

Where we sit vs. a real energy audit.

A BPI/RESNET-certified residential energy audit ($400–$700) is a legitimate, more technical product. It is not what we offer, and we don't pretend otherwise.

BPI/RESNET energy audit ($400–$700)

  • Deep on energy alone
  • Blower-door, thermal imaging, combustion-safety testing
  • Certified credential required
  • Right tool if energy is the only question

Our assessment ($75–$250)

  • Broad across five domains — energy is one of five
  • Walkthrough-level on energy specifically
  • Incentive-mapping across all federal / state / utility programs
  • Right tool to decide whether a BPI/RESNET audit is worth the spend

If you ask whether you should hire a real energy auditor instead, the honest answer is sometimes yes — and this assessment will help you decide.
