Why Most New York Homes Are Losing Energy
If your home feels drafty, certain rooms are always uncomfortable, or your energy bills seem too high, you're not alone. Most homes in New York are under-insulated, leaky, or inefficient — and without a professional energy assessment, it's impossible to know where to start.
Studies show that the majority of homes are losing energy every day through hidden gaps, under-insulated attics and walls, inefficient HVAC systems, and outdated construction methods. Without a proper assessment, many homeowners waste thousands of dollars over the years — without ever truly fixing the real problems.
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends homes in our climate zone reach modern standards for insulation, air sealing, and equipment efficiency. If your home falls short, you could be losing 20% to 40% of your heating and cooling energy — every month.
Our Energy Assessment Process
Unlike a quick walkthrough, our professional assessment covers every major system affecting your comfort and energy use.
- 1
Insulation Levels Throughout Your Home
We evaluate insulation levels in attics, walls, and basements, comparing them to New York energy code standards. You'll learn whether your insulation is sufficient — and where strategic upgrades can deliver the biggest improvements in comfort and savings.
- 2
Heating System Safety & Performance
Your heating system is inspected for both energy efficiency and safety. We check combustion performance, look for carbon monoxide risks, and verify that your system is operating as intended — or recommend modern upgrades if needed.
- 3
Air Conditioning System Evaluation
Your cooling system is reviewed for energy efficiency, age, and condition. We assess whether your A/C is meeting today's standards, identify potential energy losses, and offer solutions for maximizing comfort while reducing energy consumption.
- 4
Water Heater Efficiency & Safety
We inspect your hot water heater for signs of inefficiency or safety concerns. If your water heating system is outdated or underperforming, we provide recommendations aligned with NY energy efficiency standards and BPI best practices.
- 5
Overall Insulation Effectiveness
Beyond simple R-values, we evaluate how well your insulation works in real-world conditions. Poor installation practices, compression, gaps, or moisture damage can severely compromise insulation — and we flag these issues for correction.
- 6
Air Leakage & Draft Detection
We look for hidden gaps, cracks, and leakage points throughout your home — in attics, basements, walls, and around mechanical systems. When needed, we use blower door testing and thermal cameras to measure air leakage rates and pinpoint areas for improvement.
- 7
Full-System Balance & Comfort Optimization
Your home's systems — insulation, air sealing, heating, cooling, and ventilation — work together. We show how everything interacts to create (or block) comfort and efficiency — and how smart upgrades can deliver better year-round living conditions.
Understand Your Home. Make Smarter Improvements.
Most energy problems can't be seen without the right tools and training — but they can be felt every month on your utility bills, in uneven room temperatures, and in the way your heating and cooling systems struggle to keep up.
Small air leaks, missing insulation, outdated equipment — these invisible issues silently waste energy and money every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home energy audit?
A home energy audit is a professional assessment of your home's energy efficiency. Our BPI-certified technicians use thermal imaging cameras, blower door tests, and visual inspections to identify where your home is losing energy through air leaks, missing insulation, and inefficient systems.
How much does a home energy audit cost in NYC?
Our home energy audits are completely free for NYC homeowners. There is no cost and no obligation. We assess your home, provide a detailed report, and help you understand which improvements will save the most money.
How long does a home energy audit take?
A typical home energy audit takes 2-3 hours depending on the size of your home. This includes a complete walkthrough, thermal imaging scan, blower door test, and discussion of findings and recommendations.
Do I qualify for free energy upgrades after the audit?
Many NYC homeowners qualify for free or heavily subsidized energy upgrades through NYSERDA's EmPower+ program. Income-eligible residents can receive free insulation, air sealing, and smart thermostats. We check your eligibility during the audit and handle all the paperwork.
What areas of my home are checked during an energy audit?
We inspect your entire home including the attic, walls, basement, windows, doors, heating system, cooling system, water heater, and all air leakage points. Our thermal imaging cameras reveal hidden problems invisible to the naked eye.
Will you need to make holes in my walls during the audit?
No. The energy audit itself is completely non-invasive. We use thermal cameras and diagnostic equipment to assess your home without making any holes or modifications. If you later choose to have insulation installed, that is a separate process.
