WHAT CAN AN ENERGY AUDIT DO FOR YOU?
Homes older than ten years can reduce energy waste by up to 30% or more. At present energy costs, building components such as old furnaces, leaky windows, inefficient air conditioners, poor attic and basement insulation, are wasting a lot of energy and costing you a lot of money. What will your energy costs be in the future without upgrades?
WHY ENERGY AUDITS, REPORTS AND GRANTS MAKE SENSE
Like most homeowners, you want to save money and increase the value of your home. How do you know if you are losing more energy and money through your attic or through your windows? Does it make more sense to replace your furnace or add more insulation into an exterior wall? The energy audit and report will provide you with this information.
YOU CAN COORDINATE HOME RENOVATIONS WITH ENERGY SAVING UPGRADES AND GRANTS
EXAMPLE: You plan to install new exterior siding. Your energy report suggests increasing exterior wall insulation by R10 or more. You could then plan to add insulation under the new siding and access an insulation grant for $3,750.00 (grant amounts vary).
If your window frames need to be modified to accommodate the added thickness of insulation and new siding and your windows need upgrading, why not consider upgrading those windows and access a grant? i.e., 12 windows, Grant: $960.00.
You can lower your energy bills, renovate and get up to $10,000 in Ontario and Federal rebates.

Step 3: From the day of your pre-retrofit audit you have 18 months or until March 31, 2011 to carry out the upgrades of your choice. Remember: the more energy saving upgrades you make, the more money you will get back.
Step 4: When you have completed the upgrades of your choice, book a post-retrofit audit. BYoungEnergy will verify the upgrades you have carried out and the grant forms will completed.
Step 5: The pre-audit data is used to create a software "base" house and generate a suggested "upgraded" house, both shown in the report. The post-audit data is used to establish the new "base" house. The governments of Canada and Ontario will rebate you for up to $10,000.00
Note: You will receive required information at the pre-retrofit audit.
