"The audit went even better than we expected. Nathan is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He was clear in his explanations and his answers to our questions. And he summarized with a prioritized list of practical steps that we can take to improve our energy efficiency. On top of all that, he found that our thermostat was misconfigured and he fixed it -- the savings to us will exceed the cost of his visit after 2-3 cold-weather months."

"Comfort Master installed a new AC and Furnace in our previous home. When our AC died in our new home, we had got a quote from Comfort Master and from other firms. Although they were not the lowest quote, they were the company that gave a thorough explanation as to why our barely 10 yo Trane unit died, and why our heating and air in the top two floors in our house were so unevenly delivered and what they could do to fix it. Five full work days later, the work is done, our house is zoned, and the difference is amazing. These folks are ethical, honest, hard working and responsive."

"Jay was extremely helpful about answering questions, and helped me select an HVAC system that should work well for my home. Installation went well, and he explained the maintenance that should be performed in the future. I changed my mind about which thermostat I wanted a couple of times, and he cheerfully accommodated my final choice. I was very pleased with our transaction."

"We have used them twice. We were satisfied with each time. They came through with what they said they were going to do. They weren't as expensive and were competitive in their pricing with other companies and we would definitely use them again. We signed up for a maintenance contract for a year. When he came out he tried to charge me more for Freon, he filled up the Freon and then tried to charge me later. I told him that he should have let me know that he was going to charge me, he did take it off the bill. Overall, the services were good. They did a marvelous job. They cleaned it up well and the job was well done."

FAQs for home energy audit projects in Clayton, NC

To prepare for a home energy audit, begin by preparing your space. Clear any obstructions around the attic, basement, ducts, crawl space, appliances, windows, and doors. Gather all your energy bills from the last year and information on home upgrades if you’ve made any changes. If you’ve previously had an audit done, include that information as well.

Finally, be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns you have. If you’ve noticed a rise in your energy bills, hot or cold areas in your home, or unusual sounds from ducts or appliances, make a list to discuss with your auditor.

How often you should get an energy audit depends on the age and condition of your home. New homes with no issues are recommended to get an audit every five years, while older homes should audit every two to three years. If you’ve noticed any changes to your energy bills or other areas of concern, you should get an audit as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to conduct an audit if you’ve made changes or upgrades to your home, such as installing a new furnace, windows, or doors.

An energy audit takes three to four hours to complete. Your auditor sets up testing equipment, conducts an exhaustive walk‑through inspection, and performs all required evaluations to identify energy loss points. The audit follows a systematic review that includes visual assessments, mechanical tests, and detailed documentation, resulting in a precise report of improvement recommendations.

You can schedule a home energy audit any time of the year—it all depends on what's convenient for you. That said, timing it right can help you tackle issues before they impact your comfort and bills. If you live in a colder climate and want to avoid high heating costs in the winter, getting an audit in the summer allows you to make improvements before the temperature drops. On the contrary, if hot summers are your concern, a spring audit can help you stay cool and save on air conditioning.

To find a qualified home energy auditor, start by searching for local energy auditors with great reviews and recognized certifications like those from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). These credentials ensure they're qualified and can help you qualify for rebates. Don't hesitate to ask about their audit methods and schedule a consultation to see if they're a good fit for your needs. Doing some research upfront helps you get top-notch service and maximize your energy efficiency.

Once you have your energy audit report, it's time to take action. Review the recommendations and prioritize the upgrades that make the most sense for your home and budget. Reach out to experienced pros to get quotes and discuss how they can help. By making these improvements, you'll boost your home's energy efficiency, lower your utility bills, and enjoy a more comfortable living space.
