Who conducts the audit?

An expert trained to take a whole-house approach to evaluating your home conducts the audit.

Our Minnesota-based partner, The Neighborhood Energy Connection, consistently receives high marks from our customers on their professionalism and advice. Visit the Additional Information on this page for a link to The Neighborhood Connection.

Your auditor will spend approximately two to three hours at your home examining your home and answering your questions. You’ll receive a comprehensive written report a few days later.

How do I pay for the audit?

The cost of your audit (either $30, $60 or $100) will be an added charge on your utility bill after the audit has been completed.
