What Is It?

A home energy audit is the first step to understanding how your home uses and loses energy. At REAP, our certified auditors perform a detailed inspection of your home’s insulation, heating and cooling systems, air leakage, and overall efficiency.

An energy audit not only shows you where your home is wasting energy — it also connects you to NYSERDA programs, which offer rebates, financing, and support for making energy-saving upgrades.
