Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve got the answers.

Q: What does a home energy audit include?

A: A certified energy audit typically involves a blower door test to measure how airtight the building envelope is, a thermographic inspection to identify where heat is escaping, an assessment of insulation levels in the attic, walls, and basement, and a review of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. The auditor produces a detailed report outlining the findings and recommends upgrades prioritized by their expected impact on comfort and energy use.

Q: How long does an energy audit take?

A: A residential energy audit generally takes two to four hours, depending on the size and complexity of the home. A business or multi-unit property audit will take longer. The auditor needs time to set up and run the blower door test, walk through all areas of the building, and collect the data needed to produce an accurate report. Scheduling a time when the property can be fully accessed makes the process go smoothly.

Q: Is an energy audit required to qualify for government rebates in Ontario?

A: For most major federal and provincial incentive programs, including the Canada Greener Homes Grant, a pre-upgrade energy audit conducted by a certified NRCan energy advisor is required both before work begins and after it is complete. The audit establishes a baseline, confirms eligibility, and documents the improvement. Skipping the audit typically means forfeiting the rebate, regardless of what work was done.

Q: What is the difference between a home energy audit and a business energy audit?

A: A home energy audit focuses on the building envelope, heating and cooling systems, hot water, ventilation, and lighting in a residential context. A commercial audit covers the same categories but at a larger scale and often includes process loads, equipment efficiency, and lighting systems specific to the type of business. Commercial audits may also reference ASHRAE standards and local building energy codes, and typically produce a more detailed cost-benefit analysis for each recommended upgrade.

Q: How much could a homeowner realistically save after acting on audit recommendations?

A: Savings vary based on the age and condition of the home, the climate, and which upgrades are implemented. Homes with significant air leakage and under-insulated attics often see the most immediate payback. In Ontario’s climate, combining audit-recommended insulation and air sealing upgrades commonly yields energy savings in the range of 20 to 35 percent annually. The audit report itself will include estimated savings projections for each recommended measure.

Q: How often should an energy audit be done?

A: For most homeowners, a single audit followed by the recommended upgrades is sufficient for many years. A follow-up audit makes sense after a major renovation, a change in occupancy, or if energy bills start climbing without an obvious explanation. For commercial properties or rental buildings where energy is a significant ongoing cost, a review every five to ten years helps identify whether any systems have degraded or whether new technologies make additional improvements worthwhile.
