When people ask “What are the three types of energy audits?”, they’re usually referring to the three standard audit levels  used across the industry—often described as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3  (with each level going deeper than the last). Even though these levels are commonly discussed for commercial buildings, the same idea applies to homes: you can do a quick check , a more detailed diagnostic audit , or a deep, engineering-style analysis  depending on your goals. For

If you’re an Evergy customer in the Kansas City area and you’ve been asking, “Does Evergy do energy audits?”  the most accurate answer is: Evergy supports energy audits and home energy assessments through its efficiency programs—often by using approved contractors or program partners—rather than operating like a private audit company that serves every home directly.   That distinction matters, because it affects how you schedule an audit, what kind of “audit” you’re getting,

When people hear “energy audit,” they often think about attic insulation or drafty windows. But in many homes, the HVAC system  (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is where comfort problems and energy waste show up the most—especially when the equipment is oversized, airflow is imbalanced, or ductwork is leaking. For homeowners in the Kansas City area (Kansas and Missouri) , Central Energy Audits provides diagnostic, test-based evaluations—meaning they don’t rely on

An energy efficiency audit  is only as helpful as the process behind it . A real audit doesn’t rely on “best guesses”—it uses a repeatable checklist and diagnostic testing to pinpoint where energy is being wasted and what improvements will make the biggest difference. For homeowners and builders in the Kansas City, MO metro , Central Energy Audits describes a clear, performance-based approach: consultation , advanced testing  (including blower door testing, duct leakage testi

An energy efficiency audit  (often called a home energy audit ) is a structured, testing-based evaluation of how a home or building uses energy—and where it’s losing energy through hidden problems like air leaks, insulation gaps, duct leakage, and HVAC inefficiencies . Instead of guessing why your utility bills feel high or why certain rooms never stay comfortable, an energy efficiency audit uses diagnostic tools to measure what’s actually happening and then delivers a clear

Yes—you can absolutely test your house to figure out what’s using electricity. The key is choosing the right “level” of testing for what you want to learn: Quick checks  to spot obvious energy hogs Room-by-room testing  to measure specific appliances Whole-home testing  to pinpoint hidden loads, air leaks, and HVAC losses that don’t show up clearly with DIY tools If you’re in the Kansas City area (including places like Overland Park, Olathe, Liberty, Shawnee, Independence, Le

If you’ve ever wondered why one room in your house is always hotter (or colder) than the rest—or why your utility bills seem higher than they should be—you’re already thinking like an energy auditor. The good news: yes, you can do a basic DIY energy audit  and uncover plenty of common efficiency problems. The not-so-good news: a DIY audit has limits, especially when you need diagnostic testing, verified measurements, rebate paperwork, or HVAC load calculations . For homeowner

If your home feels drafty in winter, humid in summer, or your heating and cooling system seems to run nonstop, there’s a good chance you’re losing energy through places you can’t easily see—air leaks, insulation gaps, and duct issues. That’s exactly what a home energy audit  is designed to uncover. Central Energy Audits is based in Kansas City  and serves homes across Kansas and Missouri , helping homeowners pinpoint hidden energy losses with testing (not guesswork) and a cle

If your home feels drafty, has hot-and-cold spots, or your HVAC seems to run nonstop, you’re not alone. Many homes across the Kansas City area lose energy through hidden air leaks, underperforming insulation, and systems that aren’t working as efficiently as they should. Central Energy Audits takes a “test, don’t guess” approach—using real diagnostics to pinpoint where your home is wasting energy and what improvements will make the biggest difference first. Below is exactly w

An energy audit is a whole-home (or whole-building) checkup  that measures how your property uses energy—and, more importantly, where it’s being wasted through hidden leaks, insulation gaps, duct losses, and HVAC inefficiencies . Instead of guessing why your home feels drafty or why some rooms won’t stay comfortable, an audit uses diagnostic testing  to pinpoint the causes and lay out a clear plan to fix them. For homeowners, builders, and property managers in the Kansas City

If you’ve ever wondered why one room in your house feels drafty, why your HVAC system runs nonstop, or why your utility bills feel higher than they should, you’re already asking the right question: where is the energy going?  That’s exactly what an energy audit  is designed to answer. An energy audit  (often called a home energy audit  or energy efficiency audit ) is a systematic inspection that evaluates how your home or building uses energy—and pinpoints where energy is bei
