A blower door test shouldn’t take more than an hour, and most can be completed in less than 30 minutes.

The test doesn’t take much time and can’t be rushed, but it will take longer in large homes or those with many air leaks.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

There are a couple of ways you can save on the cost of your home energy audit.

Next, check with your local utility company to find out if you qualify for any local rebate programs to offset the cost of this helpful service.
