Find out where your home loses energy.
California Home Energy Wise delivers AI-powered energy audits designed to identify efficiency gaps with precision and objectivity. Our reports provide comprehensive analysis, project-specific ROI estimates, tiered repair strategies aligned with your budget, and forward-looking planning recommendations. Central to our service is a patent pending AI engine capable of modeling "what-if" scenarios based on your property’s actual data—empowering you to make informed, confident decisions. The entire data collection process takes less than an hour, with no sales pressure and no obligation to purchase products.
Six systems that shape your energy costs
Every area we audit has a direct, measurable impact on your home's energy performance. Understanding each one helps you make smarter, more confident decisions about where to invest.
Roof
Your roof is the primary barrier between your home and the Valley heat. Poor insulation value, aging materials, or inadequate attic ventilation beneath the roof deck cause heat to radiate into living spaces, forcing your cooling system to work overtime. We assess roofing condition, reflectivity, and the thermal boundary below to identify how much your roof is contributing to energy loss.
Ventilation
A poorly ventilated home traps heat, moisture, and stale air — all of which drive up energy use and degrade comfort. Inadequate attic ventilation causes heat to build up and transfers directly into your living space. We evaluate your whole-house ventilation strategy, exhaust systems, and attic airflow to ensure your home breathes efficiently and your HVAC isn't overcompensating.
Windows
Windows are among the highest-impact sources of unwanted heat gain and loss in California homes. Single-pane glass, failed seals, and west- or south-facing unshaded windows can account for 25–30% of heating and cooling load. Our thermal imaging pinpoints exactly where your windows are underperforming and whether sealing, shading, or replacement makes the most financial sense.
HVAC
Heating and cooling typically account for 40–50% of a home's total energy use. Aging equipment, improper sizing, dirty coils, and leaky ductwork all reduce efficiency and increase your monthly bills. We inspect your entire HVAC system — unit condition, duct integrity, thermostat behavior, and airflow balance — to identify where performance and savings are being lost.
Solar
California's abundant sunshine makes solar a high-ROI opportunity — but only when your home's energy load is optimized first. Installing solar on a leaky, inefficient home means generating power to offset waste rather than need. We assess your roof orientation, current energy load, and shading conditions so you know exactly what solar investment is justified and when it pays off.
Hot Water Source
Water heating is typically the second or third largest energy expense in a home — and often the most overlooked. Tank-style heaters lose energy around the clock through standby heat loss, and older units operating past their rated efficiency years cost significantly more to run. We evaluate your system's age, fuel source, efficiency rating, and usage patterns to determine where savings are available.
Your comprehensive energy report — delivered as a detailed PDF
Every audit ends with a professionally formatted PDF report that breaks down each component of your property — roof, attic, windows, HVAC, water heater, and electrical — with thermal imagery, condition grades, and specific recommendations. You'll see exactly what needs attention, why it matters, and what each fix costs versus what it saves.
Component-by-component condition report
Each major system — roof, attic ventilation, windows, HVAC, water heater, and electrical — gets its own section with thermal photos, condition grading, and estimated remaining life. You'll know the state of every component in plain language.
Tiered repair & upgrade roadmap
We lay out three paths — Good, Better, and Best — so you can choose the level of investment that fits your budget. Each tier shows estimated cost, projected energy savings, and payback period. No pressure, just options.
ROI analysis & home value impact
See how each recommended upgrade affects your monthly utility bills and your property's resale value. Our AI engine models the financial return so you can make decisions with real numbers, not guesswork.
What-if scenario modeling
Our patent-pending AI engine runs scenarios based on your property's actual data — what happens if you upgrade windows but leave the HVAC as-is? Which single fix delivers the fastest payback? Your PDF report includes these comparisons so you can prioritize with confidence.
