"Heatmizer (Bob Frechette) did an energy audit on our 1970 mobile home we were about to remodel. We followed his recommendations and had them spray foam and insulate after we gutted it. He installed a Mitsubishi Heat Pump that heats, cools and dehumidifies our cozy, home. The energy audit helped us attain an efficient, healthy home! We highly recommend using Heatmizer to make your home as efficient aand healthy as it can be."

Eco devices are available and may lead to cost savings in the long term, but you should run the figures before committing to an eco-friendly device as they are often much more expensive to purchase.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.
