Is Your Austin Home Using Too Much Energy? Here’s How a Free Energy Audit Can Help You Save Big

Hot Texas summers and chilly winter nights can put a real strain on your home’s comfort — and your energy bill. That’s why McCullough Heating & Air Conditioning, in partnership with Austin Energy, is proud to offer FREE home energy audits for qualifying Austin residents. If your home is 10 years or older and you’re an Austin Energy electric customer, you can take advantage of this no-cost service to uncover hidden energy waste and make smart improvements that lower your bills and improve comfort. 

What Exactly Is a Home Energy Audit?

Think of a home energy audit like a physical check-up — but for your house instead of your body. A trained McCullough comfort consultant walks through your home and identifies where energy is being lost and how to stop it. Audits follow Austin Energy’s Home Energy Savings protocols, so you get a thorough and professional assessment. 

During the energy audit, we typically evaluate:

• HVAC system performance and efficiency
• Attic insulation levels
• Condition and sealing of air ducts
• Air leaks around doors and windows
• Other areas where your home may be losing conditioned air 

Finding these issues early can help you improve comfort, reduce your monthly electric bills, and make your home healthier and safer. 

Why a Free Energy Audit Is Worth It

Here’s what Austin homeowners often gain from an energy audit:

Real Cost Savings

Energy audits spotlight wasted energy and wasted money. Once inefficiencies are found and corrected, most homeowners see meaningful reductions in their utility bills. 

Greater Comfort Year-Round

Drafty rooms, hot spots, cold corners — these problems often come from poor insulation, unsealed ducts, or air leaks around doors and windows. Audits identify these pain points so you can fix them. 

Lower Environmental Impact

Using less energy isn’t just good for your wallet; it’s better for the planet, too. Reducing energy waste helps reduce your carbon footprint. 

Boosted Home Value

Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and can command better resale value in a competitive market. 

Rebates & Financing Options Available Through Austin Energy

Once the audit is complete, you may qualify for rebates and other incentives designed to make improvements more affordable. Austin Energy’s Home Energy Savings program offers financial benefits when you move forward with recommended energy-saving upgrades. Some of the most common rebate-eligible improvements include whole-home air sealing, attic insulation, duct repair or replacement, and more. 

Plus, you can access 0% financing for up to 10 years on qualifying systems with approved credit,  helping you spread out payments while reaping the savings right away.
