How Efficient is YOUR House?

I sought to see how efficient MY house was and contacted Building Alternatives to do an energy audit. They pointed me to the NHSaves website to see if I qualified for a free energy audit.  All you have to do is enter the quantity of heating fuel that your home uses in one year.  Somehow I misplaced a few of my propane bills, but one quick call got the number in no time.  The bad news is I did not qualify for the free energy audit, but the good news is our house is pretty efficient.  Since it’s not perfect, I’m still going to pay for the audit, plus it will be cool to see the audit in action.  Building Alternatives is well versed in alternative energy solutions, so I’m looking forward to hear what ideas they have and then share them with you in a future post.  Have you had an energy audit done?  What were the pros and cons?

Here’s some links to energy audit calculators:
