		<description>Home owners should start with a home energy assessment / audit before any home renovations. Many local utilities are providing them for free; other wise they cost around $350 from an accredited firm.

We had one done on our home last fall and not only learned much about energy conservation in the home, we received recommendations that were specific to our home, easy to understand charts and graphs, and more.

We have written about the energy audit report we received so others can learn.

Knowing what can be done to a home to conserve energy, the costs and the benefits of the energy conservation related activity or costs help a home owner make the best decision for them on which home renovation project to undertake.
