Diagnostic energy audits

The diagnostic energy audit uses a blower door test, duct blaster and infrared camera. These tools allow a marketing representative to locate thermal deficiencies, air infiltration and leakage that can cause high energy consumption and an uncomfortable home.

You get a detailed report that includes the measured air tightness of your home, infrared camera results and recommendations for improvements that will reduce energy usage. The audit costs $100, but that fee is reimbursed if at least $100 of recommended repairs are made within six months.

Walk-through energy audits

Marketing representatives can conduct a free walk-through energy audit. They visually inspect your home and evaluate the energy efficiency of the building, household appliances, heating and cooling system and lighting. You get a list of recommendations showing steps that can be taken to reduce energy costs.

To schedule an audit or for more information, call 800-489-7405 or visit a First Electric office.

"I recommend an audit for everyone. I found out that our house was well built, but there were a few things that needed to be tweaked. I was able to take care of them the next day."
