In an energy tune-up inspection, I evaluate heating equipment efficiency, insulation levels, glazing and the overall tightness of the house.  I then produce a Home Energy Tune-uP® Report.  The report contains estimates of the savings, costs and payback time for each energy-efficiency recommendation.  It identifies improvements that, if financed, will save more on energy bills than they cost.

An energy "Tune-up" inspection differs from an energy "audit" in that it does not include technical analysis, like blower door tests.  It is also a lot less expensive.  If included with a standard home inspection, the Home Energy Tune-up inspection usually adds about 1/2 of the price of the home inspection (for a house with an under-floor crawlspace).
