Energy Audit
At Classic City Home Inspection, we offer professional energy audits to homeowners and property owners across Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, GA, and surrounding areas. If you’re concerned about high utility bills, drafty rooms, or inconsistent indoor temperatures, an energy audit can identify where your home is losing energy—and how you can improve efficiency and comfort.
Led by experienced inspector David, our energy audits are designed to give you a clear picture of your home’s energy usage. We evaluate everything from insulation and ventilation to windows, doors, HVAC performance, and potential air leaks. The result is a detailed, actionable report that helps you reduce energy waste and lower long-term costs.
What Is an Energy Audit?
An energy audit is a top-to-bottom assessment of how your home uses and loses energy. It goes beyond just looking at appliances and utility bills—it involves identifying problem areas that contribute to energy inefficiency. Whether your home is old or newly built, there are often opportunities to improve performance, boost comfort, and save money.
Our inspections are tailored to each property and include a thorough visual evaluation, along with specific recommendations for upgrades or repairs that can enhance your home’s efficiency.
What We Evaluate
David performs a detailed inspection of key components that influence energy usage, including:
- Insulation levels in attics, crawlspaces, and walls
- Air leaks around windows, doors, outlets, and vents
- HVAC system performance, duct condition, and air distribution
- Water heaters and appliances for energy efficiency
- Window and door sealing and condition
- Thermal boundaries and heat loss areas
- Moisture control and ventilation in critical areas
- Lighting and electrical use
Each energy audit is conducted according to building science principles and best practices for Georgia homes, considering the local climate and common construction materials in the area.
