What is the fee charged, first to analyze the needs of the home; and then, is the fee for actual work performed at an hourly rate, if so what is suggested rate, or is it contract pricing?
Energy audits go for $250-$700 in Maine depending on the size and complexity of the home and the depth of the audit and analysis. Evergreen Home Performance LLC charges $500 for an audit assessment and we have a waiting list of over 60 people at this time with more added daily. To do the work, charging is the same as any remodeling except that efficiency technicians can bill out at a higher rate much as other specialized trades like electrician, plumber, or heating tech. Being a skilled professional at creating improvements in buildings requires specialized knowledge and, sometimes, very difficult working conditions. Attics and basements are often the areas that need the most attention and techs earn the higher rate of pay for doing detailed work in hard to maneuver, uncomfortable areas.
