DIY Home Energy Audit & Calculators

Online Energy Audit

Conduct an energy audit of your home from the comfort of your home computer with our free, online Home Energy Calculator. Input information about your home including square footage, heating and cooling system age, and estimated insulation levels and the calculator will produce a report to provide a benchmark of how much energy your home should use based on the information you provided. The report will then provide you with suggested improvements to help you lower the energy costs for your home.    

Put Operating Price Tags on Your Appliances

So, how much energy should a typical refrigerator use each year? How about window air conditioner? A computer or big screen TV? Check our our interactive Appliance Cost Estimator to learn the estimated operating costs for typical household appliances. Then, come to our offices or your local libray to check out a Kill A Watt meter to measure the actual energy consumption of your appliances.
