A good energy audit should not be used to sell a product; it should be a tool to answer your questions.

The biggest question is usually, "If I spend my money to make my home more energy efficient, how much money will I save?"  An audit should produce a cost benefit analysis that shows you each measure and the type of savings you would get from the changes you make.  Check out our sample cost-benefit analysis.
