Energy Audits

NRLP offers energy audits to help customers better understand their energy use, improve efficiency, and identify opportunities to save energy and money. In-person energy audits are available for both residential and commercial customers, while virtual energy audits are available for residential customers. Energy audits are provided in partnership with ElectriCities of North Carolina.

In-Person Energy Audits

Our in-person energy audits provide a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s or business’s energy performance. During the audit, a certified energy advisor will assess areas such as:

• Insulation levels
• Air leaks and infiltration points
• Appliances, including water heaters, space heaters, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, and thermostats
• Heating and cooling systems
• Air filters
• Attic pull-down stairs (if applicable)
• Other potential energy efficiency, health, or safety concerns

Customers who participate in an in-person audit will receive a complimentary energy-saving kit from NRLP.

Rental Properties: Renters are welcome to participate but must obtain written permission from the landlord or property owner before scheduling an audit.

Virtual Energy Audits

Looking for energy-saving recommendations but not ready to schedule an in-person visit? Our virtual energy audit is available to residential customers and provides a convenient self-guided option to help identify opportunities to reduce energy use and lower your electric bill.

Simply complete the Virtual Home Audit questionnaire to receive personalized recommendations based on your home’s characteristics and energy habits.
