Home Energy Audit

Idaho Power offers a discounted home energy audit, or home-performance assessment, which is a comprehensive in-home energy evaluation conducted by a certified, third-party home performance specialist (HPS). The total value of the audit is $445, but participants pay only $99 for all-electric homes and $149 for gas, propane or other fuel sourced home. It is the first step toward learning how a home uses energy. These audits are used to find areas of concern and improve the efficiency, comfort and health of a home.

From crawl space to attic, a HPS visually inspects your entire home. This includes appliances and mechanical systems, a health and safety inspection and a blower door test*, which identifies and locates air leaks. You may elect to have some energy saving improvements installed at no additional cost, if appropriate. Available improvements include installation of:

  • Up to 20 energy saving light bulbs
  • One high-efficiency showerhead
  • Pipe wrap from the water heater to house wall – approximately 3 feet

After the audit is complete, you will understand where your home may be losing energy, what simple fixes you can do to improve efficiency and how to implement any improvements that may be needed.

*Blower door testing will not be done in homes believed to contain asbestos or vermiculite insulation.

Note: Program continuation, eligibility requirements and terms and conditions apply.
