2. You will learn how to make your home feel more comfortable during both cooling and warming seasons, without spending a lot of money.

3. You will find out how your heating systems works (or why it doesn't).

4. You will learn how to stay cool without relying on air conditioning.

5. You will lighten your imprint on the earth.

6. You will understand the interconnectedness of your house.  Learn what no contractor working on your house ever told you - that every action you have ever taken has caused a reaction... somewhere in your house.

7. You will find out where the mold is and have a chance to get rid of it before it eats your walls and makes you sick.

8. You will find the energy vampires in your house, and learn how to slay them... without the need for wooden stakes.

9. You will get straight answers about whether the air you are breathing every day is actually safe to breathe.

10. You will be given an audit report. That means, you will have a road map of what you can do - from caulking to replacing the insulation in your walls to fixing the roof... in order to save money in your house, make it safer and more comfortable.

Learn. Know. Do. Save. We could go on and on... in fact, over the next few days we will. The time is now. Invest in a home energy audit with a certified auditor and take over the reins of your house.  Sure you can.  Stop back here for more information on audits and for all the tools you need to start down the path to comfortable, energy efficient living.

I do energy audits in Central Texas, learn more at www.austinauditors.com. The audit is the first step and the upgrades are second. Most fixes have an ROI of less than 5 years and most houses could use one of these upgrades.
