What's the second largest cost of home ownership that is also the only major cost that can actually be reduced? If you answered Energy, you are right. With such a huge impact it makes on buying and owning a home, home inspectors around the country have been adding "Energy Inspector" to their title.
Energy Inspections can be performed right alongside traditional home inspections, adding only about 15 to 30 minutes to the time of a normal home inspection. Energy Inspection can also be added as a separate service.
