There are a few things to do when preparing for a residential energy audit from BLUEGILL Energy Management.  It is a good idea to have a site manager or decision maker present during the audit since education on building efficiency and energy usage is a large portion of this service.  The auditor will also have questions to ask. 

How to Prepare: 

  • Set aside 1 hour per 1000 Sqft of space
  • The building can be in normal operational mode
  • Make a list of problems or areas of concernMake sure all entries are accessible
  • Unlock all interior and exterior doorsUnlock attic door(s) with room in space to maneuverUnlock any crawl space(s) access with room in space to maneuver
  • Make sure all heating and cooling vents and returns are uncovered
  • Gather all utility bills for the last 12 months
  • Make list by approximate date of any known repairs to your heating, cooling or water heating systems
  • Please secure any pets, some doors may be open during the audit process
