HOW MUCH IS AN AUSTIN ENERGY AUDIT?
ECAD starts at $129 for homes under 1,000 sq ft or $159 for homes over 1,000 sq ft. Additional AC units are $65 each. Realtors and repeat customers receive $10 off. For a home measuring exactly 1,000 sq ft, contact us to confirm the applicable rate. Home Diagnostic audits start at $299; confirm the final price in the booking calendar. Emergency audits have separate premium pricing.
DO I NEED AN ECAD AUDIT TO SELL?
Not every home needs a new audit. Residential ECAD requirements generally apply to homes inside Austin city limits, served by Austin Energy, and 10 years old or older. An existing audit is valid for 10 years, and exemptions may apply. Check your property's ECAD status with Austin Energy before booking a new audit.
WHEN MUST I PROVIDE THE ECAD REPORT TO THE BUYER?
When an ECAD audit is required, Austin Energy says to provide the results at least three days before the option period ends. If there is no option period, provide them at contract signing. Schedule early rather than waiting until closing. See Austin Energy's seller guidance for details.
WHAT IS A HOME DIAGNOSTIC AUDIT?
A Home Diagnostic audit investigates high energy bills, hot or cold rooms, and other comfort concerns. It includes thermal imaging, blower door testing, and HVAC and duct analysis, with a written report prioritizing recommended improvements. It is a different service from an ECAD compliance audit. Energy savings depend on the home and the improvements made.
HOW FAST DO I GET MY REPORT?
ECAD reports are delivered the same day as the audit once the invoice is paid in full. City of Austin filing is included. For Home Diagnostic and New Construction services, confirm report timing when booking.
WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY AUDIT?
Emergency ECAD audits offer priority same-day service with no set appointment time. Premium pricing applies. Check the emergency booking calendar for availability and current charges. ECAD report delivery requires payment in full. Book an Emergency audit.
WHAT AREAS OUTSIDE AUSTIN DO YOU SERVE?
We serve Lake Travis, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Pflugerville, and West Lake Hills, as well as Austin. Home Diagnostic and New Construction services are separate from ECAD compliance. An Austin-area address alone does not mean an ECAD audit is required.
