What is a home energy audit?

A home energy audit is a professional inspection that identifies where your home is losing energy. It includes checks of your HVAC system, insulation, windows, ducts, and more to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

How can an energy audit save me money?

By revealing areas of energy loss, we help you target improvements that reduce utility bills. Many of our customers see significant savings after sealing leaks, upgrading insulation, or adjusting HVAC settings.

How long does a typical audit take?

Most energy audits take 1–2 hours, depending on the size and layout of your home. We provide a detailed report and walk you through the findings after the assessment.

Is it worth doing an audit if my HVAC system is new?

Yes! Even with new equipment, poor insulation, leaky ducts, or improper settings can lead to inefficiency. An audit ensures your whole home is working together efficiently.

Can I make the recommended upgrades myself?

Some minor fixes—like sealing windows or upgrading your thermostat—can be DIY. For larger upgrades, we offer professional installation and trusted recommendations.

Do you offer audits for older homes?

Absolutely. In fact, older homes often benefit the most from energy audits because they’re more likely to have outdated systems or insufficient insulation.

Is financing available for energy efficiency upgrades?

Yes, we offer financing for HVAC replacements, duct sealing, insulation upgrades, and other improvements recommended during an audit.

Will an energy audit help improve indoor air quality too?

Yes. By identifying areas of poor airflow or excessive humidity, an energy audit can lead to better IAQ through improvements like dehumidifiers or upgraded ventilation.

Adam was professional, courteous and well informed in his understanding of the HVAC system , what were the problems with our current system and our alternatives to consider.

I can't recommend Aux Home Services and Preston enough. We had an older home with tricky wiring, and Preston took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions patiently, and did excellent, careful work installing our new light fixture. He clearly knew what he was doing and didn't cut any corners (exactly what you want when it comes to electrical work in an older house). Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The monthly service plan was easy to sign up for (covers plumbing, electrical, and HVAC... perfect for an older home). If you need an electrician in the Birmingham area, ask for Preston. Also, dispatch team were great! Highly recommend!

Adam found the cause of our air conditioning not functioning well - he got in the attic and discovered the issue. This has been going on for two years, and Adam came out and in 15 minutes found the problem. Great technician!

Had an issue and wasn't sure what it was and Walter took the extra time needed to get the job done right in a courteous manner. I decided to keep all older units and Walter explained what I could do to keep them and I had contactors and caps replaced.

My experience with Aux was excellent, start to finish. A neighbor recommended them. My initial contact and request for a service call was seamless. Tyler, the technician who visited my home (the very next morning) to service the water heater, did an excellent diagnostic, and reviewed the pros and cons of replacing the 12 year old water heater. I was living on borrowed time with the old unit. Tyler was very professional, made some improvements to the piping connections, and convinced me of the benefit of becoming a member in their annual service contract for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. He was in and out within 4 hours, including a trip to his warehouse for the new water heater. I highly recommend AUX Mechanical services!
