I had an energy audit done for free. My gf has her new construction done last spring for free. For what they do for $100 is a lot! It will be worth it.

On my condo, they suggest more insulation in attic crawlspace. Suggest I put E-film on my windows. Insulated paddings on all my outside electrical outlets and switches. Electrical outlet covers on electrical outlets. And 'Peal and Seal' caulking around the windows.

My gf house being new construction, was 1 inch of closed foam followed by unfaced fibreglas insulation, followed by plastic sheeting. She had to run a dehumidifier in the winter! Very little air passing through. She had to run the bathroom vent an hour a day to circulate the air.
