Home Energy Audit Checklist

Use this checklist to shortlist energy-heavy devices, estimate cost with calculators and choose one practical next action.

How to use it with the calculators

Walk around the home first and list devices that run often, heat or cool, or stay on standby. Then use the calculators to estimate cost. The sheet keeps the result and confidence level beside the device, so you know whether the number is strong enough to act on.

Common mistake

The common mistake is acting on the biggest-looking number without checking confidence. A heater used for two hours can be easier to estimate than a refrigerator that cycles on and off all day.
