Local Home Energy Audits for Mount Pleasant, NC's Historic and Rural Homes
Mount Pleasant is not one kind of house. There are homes inside the historic district that predate 1900, mid-century ranches on half-acre lots, newer construction going up in Bent Creek, and farmhouses out past the town limits running on well water and septic systems. EcoGreen Home Services is the local home energy audit company that treats each one differently, because a hundred-year-old house near downtown and a new build on the edge of town lose energy in completely different places.

A Local Energy Audit Company That Knows Small-Town Cabarrus County
A professional home energy audit goes beyond a simple checklist. Every home has different construction methods, materials, equipment, and energy challenges, which is why a detailed evaluation is needed to understand how your home is truly performing. Instead of recommending unnecessary upgrades, an energy audit identifies specific areas where your home may be losing energy and where improvements can have the greatest impact.
Your home’s comfort and energy costs are affected by many factors, including insulation, air leaks, heating and cooling systems, ventilation, and overall efficiency. A certified energy audit helps uncover these issues and provides clear recommendations based on your home’s actual condition. With the right information, homeowners can make smarter improvement decisions, increase comfort, reduce wasted energy, and work toward lower household energy bills.
“Our mission is to help every homeowner understand how their whole home uses energy, so the money they spend on upgrades goes exactly where it will do the most good.”
Mount Pleasant Homeowners on Their Audit Results
Neighbors in the historic district, in Bent Creek, and out on the county roads, on what the audit actually found.
Our Projects
Walk through a complete assessment of an older home on a larger rural lot and see what the diagnostics turned up.
Why Choose Us
We Don't Template Rural and In-Town Homes the Same Way
A downtown historic home and a farmhouse on five acres fail in different places. We adjust the assessment to the property, not the other way around.
We Test Wells, Crawl Spaces, and Additions, Not Just the Attic
Mount Pleasant properties carry issues that a subdivision-only audit checklist misses entirely. We go looking for them.
Findings You Can Act On Immediately
The report ranks each finding by what it costs to fix against what it is costing you to live with, so the next step is never a guess.
Save Energy, Lower Household Bills
Mount Pleasant sits in the eastern reach of Cabarrus County, closer to the Rowan and Stanly county lines than to Charlotte, which is a large part of why its housing stock looks different from what we see in Concord or Harrisburg.
The same certified auditors covering Concord, Kannapolis, and Harrisburg also work Mount Pleasant and the rural stretches around it. Cabarrus County’s home energy audit coverage runs the full length of the county, from newer construction in the southwest to century-old farmhouses out here in the east.
Historic, mid-century, or out on a rural lot, your home deserves the same level of scrutiny. One visit tells you where it is losing energy and what to fix first. Mount Pleasant’s choice for local, whole-home energy audits.

FAQs
No. The audit itself is a non-invasive assessment: thermal imaging, diagnostic testing, and a visual inspection. Nothing about the process alters the structure or its protected features. If the audit turns up upgrades worth making, we can talk through what is appropriate for a historic-district home specifically.
Yes, and we account for it. Water heater sizing gets evaluated against your well system’s actual output, not a generic municipal-supply chart, and crawl space moisture assessment considers proximity to the septic field along with the usual foundation and drainage factors.
Yes. Mount Pleasant and the surrounding rural stretches of eastern Cabarrus County are part of our regular service area, not an exception. Distance from downtown does not change the scope of the assessment or add a special scheduling hurdle.
Very often, yes. Additions are frequently framed onto a house without extending the original insulation or ductwork properly, which leaves that room fighting the rest of the house’s system. The audit measures delivery and insulation in the addition specifically so the fix addresses the actual gap.
The equipment and methods are the same, but what we expect to find is not. Older farmhouses tend to show up with inconsistent insulation, aging HVAC equipment, and crawl space issues. Newer construction tends to show up with tighter envelopes but occasional gaps around code-minimum insulation or duct sealing. The report reflects what your specific house is actually doing, not an assumption based on its age.
Travel within our Mount Pleasant and Cabarrus County service area is not a separate line item. We quote the audit itself before scheduling, so you know the figure in advance regardless of how far out the property sits.
It is worth checking rather than assuming either way. Some older homes have had insulation added at some point and others never have, and the only way to know what is actually in your walls and attic is to measure it. That is exactly what the audit does.
Size does not determine whether an audit is worth doing. A smaller home can still lose a large share of its energy to a handful of fixable problems, and the dollar savings scale with what is actually wrong, not with square footage alone.
