"Our experience with Earth Right has been impressive from the start. Joe came to our home twice to examine the feasibility of going solar, since we live in a wooded area. The creative approach of combining our garage and house rooves in order to have enough space for the panels was far and above the other companies saying YES or NO from the satellite photos alone. Today Jeremy and Jonathan installed the foil and fan in our attic. They could not have been more professional or considerate in their approach. Installation scheduled for fall. We are sure we chose the right company... Earth-Right!"

"Brendon was the plumbing representative that came out to our home. He arrived on time, we spoke about any problems or concerns we've had over the past year and he performed his inspection. He addressed all our concerns and provided information and tips that should be very helpful going forward. He is a U.S. Army veteran, which I think speaks highly of Woodfin and it's employees. We also had a little social time when we talked about common places we both have been. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Ryan was our air conditioning inspector. He has been in our home before and also arrived on time. While we were talking about any problems or concerns we've had over the past year, Ryan was getting to know our Siberian Husky all over again. He then performed the inspection on both our A/C units including fans, compressors, pressures and safety features. No problems were found and he provided us a copy of the inspection report, said goodbye to our dog and left. Ryan was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable and friendly."

"He did a walk-thru inspection of the house for potential insulation improvements. We decided that foam insulation sealing the attic and foam insulation in the basement on the wall space between the joists would be the most cost efficient improvements. They came out subsequently with an insulation contractor and provided an estimate. They were prompt with their visits and estimate."

"This is a family run business. Woman owned. Cheryl, the owner, sent her sons out to us. Her young men were not only able to come earlier than we scheduled but also came into our home with hands extended, clearly stating their names to introduce themselves. Well trained and respectful!!!  <br /> Once they explained very clearly what the job entailed, they got started. they were done in about an hour.  <br /> When they were done, they packed up. They left things very neat and clean.  <br /> I would certainly hire them again the next time we need duct cleaning. Actually, I look forward to them returning. <br />"

FAQs for home energy audit projects in Richmond, VA

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.
