Have you ever wondered where your energy dollars actually go each month? In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, homeowners spend an average of $200 to $300 per month on electricity, and cooling alone accounts for roughly half of that total. Much of that spending goes toward heating and cooling air that leaks right out of your home.

A home energy audit pinpoints exactly where your house wastes energy. It identifies leaks in your attic, walls, ductwork, windows, and doors so you can fix the right problems first. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners who act on audit findings typically cut annual energy costs by 10% to 30%.

Green Attics provides professional energy audits across Dallas-Fort Worth. Our trained technicians use FLIR thermal imaging cameras, blower door testing equipment, and hands-on inspections to find every source of energy loss in your home. We do not guess. We measure, document, and give you a clear path to lower bills and better comfort.

Many attic insulation problems and ductwork leaks go unnoticed for years. An energy audit catches them before they cost you thousands.

How a DFW Home Energy Audit Works

Our audit process follows a structured approach so nothing gets missed. Here is what happens when our team arrives at your home.

  1. Walk-Through Inspection We start with a visual assessment of your home’s exterior and interior. We check windows, doors, outlets, baseboards, and attic hatches for visible gaps, cracks, or deterioration.
  2. Attic and Insulation Review Your attic is one of the biggest sources of energy loss in a Texas home. We measure insulation depth, check for compressed or damaged material, and look for gaps around penetrations like pipes, wires, and recessed lights. The DOE recommends R-38 to R-60 insulation in most DFW attics. Many homes fall well short of that.
  3. FLIR Thermal Imaging We use forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras to scan your walls, ceilings, and floors. The camera shows exactly where heat enters or escapes your home. Hot spots in summer point to missing insulation or air leaks. You see the results in real time on screen.
  4. Blower Door Testing A blower door test measures how much air leaks in and out of your home. We mount a calibrated fan in an exterior door frame, depressurize the house, and measure the airflow needed to maintain that pressure. This tells us how “leaky” your home is and helps us locate specific leak points around windows, electrical outlets, plumbing penetrations, and attic access panels.
  5. HVAC and Ductwork Assessment We inspect your heating and air conditioning equipment for age, condition, and efficiency. We check your ductwork for disconnections, crushed sections, and poor sealing. Leaky ducts can waste 20% to 30% of the air your system produces.
  6. Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Check Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup that degrades insulation and promotes mold. We assess soffit vents, ridge vents, and solar attic fans to confirm your attic breathes correctly. We also check for indoor air quality concerns tied to poor sealing or duct contamination.
  7. Written Report With Prioritized Recommendations After the assessment, you receive a clear written report that lists every finding and ranks improvements by cost-effectiveness. No jargon. No upselling. Just data and recommendations you can act on.

What's Included in Our Certified Performance Report

Our Certified Performance Report (CPR) takes the standard energy audit further. This detailed, all-in-one service takes 2 to 4 hours and covers every system that affects your home’s energy use. The CPR includes:

The CPR gives you the full picture. You will know exactly which improvements save the most money and in what order to tackle them. Many homeowners use their CPR results to plan spray foam insulation upgrades, radiant barrier installations, or duct cleaning work that they would not have known they needed.

Why DFW Homeowners Need an Energy Audit Now

Dallas-Fort Worth summers regularly push past 100°F. The cooling season here runs from April through October, roughly seven months of the year. That puts enormous strain on your HVAC system and your wallet.

Texas electricity rates rose roughly 30% between 2020 and late 2025, according to ERCOT data. Rates have stabilized somewhat, but the trend is clear. Every BTU of cooled air that leaks through your attic hatch, ductwork, or poorly sealed window costs more today than it did three years ago.

Older homes in cities like Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Arlington often have insulation that has settled, compressed, or been disturbed by rodents. Homes built before 2000 frequently have under-insulated attics that fall below current building code requirements. An energy audit finds these problems fast.

Even newer homes benefit. Construction shortcuts, improperly sealed ductwork, and missing weather stripping are common in homes less than 10 years old.

Trained, Local Technicians

Our energy auditors live and work in the DFW area. They understand the specific climate challenges that North Texas homes face, from extreme summer heat to occasional winter freezes that stress heating systems.

Equipment, Not Guesswork

We use FLIR thermal cameras and blower door testing equipment on every CPR audit. We do not rely on visual inspections alone. Infrared imaging reveals what your eyes cannot see, and blower door tests quantify air leakage in measurable terms.

Make a list of rooms that feel uncomfortable, drafty, or hard to heat and cool. Gather your last 12 months of utility bills if possible. Make sure the auditor can access your attic, crawl spaces, and all HVAC equipment.

The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit previously offered up to $150 for qualified home energy audits. That credit expired December 31, 2025. Check with a tax professional and your local utility provider for any current rebates or incentive programs.

A blower door test uses a calibrated fan mounted in your door frame to depressurize your home. This exaggerates air leaks so technicians can find and measure them. The test tells us exactly how “tight” or “leaky” your home’s building envelope is.

FLIR stands for Forward-Looking Infrared. The camera detects temperature differences on surfaces. During an energy audit, it shows where heat enters or exits your home through walls, ceilings, and floors. Areas that appear as hot spots or cold spots on the camera indicate missing insulation or air leaks.

Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that homeowners who follow through on audit recommendations typically reduce energy costs by 10% to 30%. In DFW, where cooling costs are high, the savings can be at the upper end of that range.
