A Home Energy Audit Company for Two Cities' Worth of Housing History
Guilford County is unusual in having two county seats, Greensboro and High Point, each shaped by its own long manufacturing and furniture-industry history. That combination brings a genuinely wide mix of housing ages and styles, and most homeowners are working from a guess about what’s driving their bill.
Our certified auditors spend three to four hours in your home with thermal imaging and diagnostic testing, working through the attic, the crawl space or foundation, the ductwork, and every mechanical system in between. A century-old home in either city gets the same scrutiny as a newer surrounding build.
The report you receive ranks every finding by what it costs to fix against what it’s costing you every month. According to ENERGY STAR, the average home can cut heating and cooling costs by about 15 percent, and total energy costs by about 11 percent, through proper air sealing and insulation alone. Whether your home is one of them is exactly what the audit finds out.
“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.”

Signs Your Guilford County Home Might Need an Energy Audit
Most homeowners don’t wake up one day and decide to schedule an energy audit. Something’s been bothering them for a while. If any of the following sound familiar, an audit is usually where to start.
- One room is always hotter or colder than the rest of the house, especially a bonus room over a garage
- Your power bill has climbed steadily and you can’t point to a clear reason why
- You notice musty smells, especially near a crawl space entrance or in a basement
- Paint or wallpaper has started peeling or cracking in a way that seems tied to humidity
- You can see or feel a draft near windows, doors, or electrical outlets
- Your home feels humid and sticky in summer no matter how low you set the air conditioning
- Your home has a crawl space that has never been inspected for moisture or air leaks
- Upstairs bedrooms are noticeably harder to cool than the rest of the house
- Your heating or cooling system runs almost constantly, or clicks on and off more often than it used to
- Dust seems to collect faster than it should, even right after cleaning
What's Actually Driving Up Your Energy Bill
A high power bill in Guilford County traces back to different causes depending on which part of the county, and which era of construction, your home comes from.
Insulation Gaps Tied to Manufacturing-Era Growth
Homes built during Greensboro or High Point's industrial growth years often predate modern insulation standards.
Oversized Equipment in Newer Construction
Newer surrounding subdivisions often carry equipment sized generously rather than calculated precisely.
Ductwork Losing Air
This shows up in both older retrofit ductwork and newer vented-attic construction.
Air Leaks Regardless of City or Era
Small gaps around windows, doors, and framing add up whether a home is in Greensboro, High Point, or the surrounding area.
Humidity the System Can't Keep Up With
Excess humidity makes a home feel warmer in summer and colder in winter than the thermostat setting suggests.
Crawl Spaces and Basements Working Against the House
Moisture and temperature swings below the living space affect the whole system.
Stop guessing at the power bill. A few hours with a certified energy auditor gives you a complete picture of your home and a plan worth following.

FAQs
Yes. Guilford County has two county seats, and we cover the full county, including both cities and the surrounding communities.
Homes from that era often carry predictable insulation and air-sealing gaps, and we know to check those areas first.
It usually makes the audit more useful, since each addition creates a seam where air can leak that the original construction never had.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the home. We provide a price before scheduling so there are no surprises.
No. A home inspection evaluates condition and safety at time of sale. An energy audit measures how much energy your home wastes and what it’s costing you.
Often, yes. Newer construction meets code, which is a minimum, and production builders commonly route ductwork through vented attics and size equipment generously.
An audit gives you documentation many efficiency programs require, and tells you which upgrades are most likely to qualify.
