What this free checklist is
The Energy Audit Prep Checklist is a simple planning tool for homeowners. It helps you get ready before an energy assessment or insulation estimate, especially if you are not sure what information to gather.
Using a checklist can save time and reduce stress. It can also help you describe comfort problems more clearly, like a hot upstairs room, cold floors, drafts, or high utility bills.
Thermline is a free matching service. We do not perform audits or install insulation. We help homeowners learn the basics and get matched with licensed and insured insulation installers near them.
How to use it
Print the PDF or fill it out on your phone. Walk through your home room by room. Write down the problem spots you notice most.
Bring the checklist when you meet with an assessor or insulation company. Use it to compare recommendations, scope, and the R-value they suggest. R-value is a simple way to describe how much insulation slows heat flow. Higher R-value can mean better resistance to heat loss or heat gain, but the right target depends on your climate zone and your home.
When you compare companies, ask for the price, material, areas included, and final R-value in writing before any deposit. Always hire licensed and insured installers and verify that yourself. You can also review how to vet an insulation installer before you book appointments.
