What factors influence the price range for a home energy audit?

• <div><p>Depending on property size and audit scope, costs range from $200 to $600.</p></div>

Why is professional input valuable for energy-efficient windows?

• <div><p>Expert installation optimizes insulation properties, cutting energy costs and enhancing home comfort year-round.</p></div>

• <div><p>Insulation is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/r-you-using-right-type-home-insulation.htm">measured by R-value</a>, which is the measure of a material's ability to resist heat transfer. The higher the number, the better the insulation. When installing insulation yourself, you need to determine the optimal R-value you need to keep your home warm in the wintertime, cool in the heat of summer, and energy-efficient all year long. Each inch of insulation provides between a 3 and an 8 R-value. The climate where you live plays a major role in what R-value you need and the price tag you might see in your insulation installation.</p></div>

Is it OK for my AC to run all day?

• <div><p>If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-ac-can-run-continuously.htm">run your AC all day</a> if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time. </p></div>

How do I find a reputable home energy auditor?

• <div><p>A couple of the best ways to find a reputable energy auditor is by determining whether they are HEP-certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). This certification will help you narrow down your list of professionals to the most qualified pros with the most relevant experience. </p><p>You can also choose from the Department of Energy’s certified list of energy auditors or Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to find pros in your area.</p></div>
