BrightHome's comprehensive home energy assessment, also known as energy audit, is the first step in BrightHome’s diagnostic process. A BrightHome energy consultant inspects the home inside and out, checking each room's efficiency and safety. The exterior is checked for structural deficiencies and leakage points. The detailed assessment covers more than 75 inspection points.
