Calgary Energy Audits | EnerGuide Evaluations
& CEIP-Ready Assessments
Serving CEIP-Eligible Municipalities
Calgary · Airdrie · Okotoks · Banff · Canmore · and surrounding communities
Calgary homes face a specific problem: -30°C winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and chinook-driven pressure swings create air leakage and heat loss that a standard EnerGuide rating alone doesn't fully capture. If your home is losing heat faster than it should — or if you're planning upgrades and want access to CEIP financing or CMHC's Eco Improvement program - the first step is knowing exactly where the problem is and what fixing it is actually worth.
InspectionExperts EnergyAudits give you that data, in writing, with the documentation lenders and program administrators require.
An energy audit with InspectionExperts includes blower door testing, thermal imaging, ventilation analysis, and a full H2K modelling report. Critically, the audit must be completed in the correct sequence relative to your CEIP or CMHC application — getting the order wrong can disqualify you from reimbursement. We walk you through the right steps before you book, so nothing falls through.
InspectionExperts is Calgary's only team where individual staff members hold dual certification — as both home inspectors and energy advisors. That means you can request the same certified professional for both services in a single visit, and the bundle a home inspection with an InspectionExperts Energy Audit at a combined price that costs less than booking them separately. AmeriSpec's national network sets the training and quality standards behind every assessment. The Calgary expertise — the building science knowledge specific to chinook climates, freeze-thaw cycles, and Alberta's program landscape — is what our local team brings to every home.
Which Home Energy Services applies to your situation?
Each service below addresses a specific part of how your home is built, how it performs, and what documentation your upgrade or financing application requires. Use the links to understand exactly what each service involves and whether it applies to your situation.
If you want every available program identified and mapped to your specific home in one visit — CEIP, CMHC, and energy bill savings combined — book the Eco Advantage program.
You receive a Funding Finder report, a Priority Plan, and a Home Energy Report in addition to the EnerGuide evaluation.
If you want to know how your home uses energy, where it is losing it, and which upgrades will improve its efficiency — assessed from basement to attic by a certified NRCan Energy Advisor using blower door testing, insulation measurement, and HOT2000 energy modelling — then book Natural Resources Canada's Certified Service: EnerGuide Home Evaluation
If you are planning energy upgrades in municipalities where CEIP program is being offered and want access to CEIP financing, you need a two-part EnerGuide Home Evaluation, one before your upgrades begin and one after they are complete.
If you have solar panels on your roof, our on-site SPRK photovoltaic inspection assesses panel performance, wiring, inverter condition, and generates a 10-year production report.
If your project is new construction or a major renovation, we provide construction blower door testing and can support the ENERGY STAR for New Homes certification pathway.
More about InspectionExpets' Home Energy Services
Every InspectionExperts energy audit is conducted by a NRCan-registered Energy Advisor — which means your EnerGuide report is accepted by CEIP, CMHC Eco Improvement, CMHC Eco Plus, and every other major Canadian program that requires an official evaluation. If a program requires an EnerGuide label to unlock financing or a rebate, our report qualifies. If it does not qualify, we will tell you before you book.
The most complete picture of how a Calgary home is performing comes from combining the energy audit with thermal imaging and air quality testing in a single visit. Thermal imaging identifies moisture behind walls — a frequent finding in older Calgary homes where air leakage has allowed condensation to accumulate inside the building envelope for years without visible signs. Mold, VOC, and particle testing confirms whether that moisture has created an indoor air quality issue. Booking these together costs less than separate visits and produces a report that covers energy performance, structural integrity, and indoor environment in one document. Ask about the combined booking price when you call.
WHY DO HOME ENERRGY ASSESSMENTS : Calgary homeowners book an energy audit for four specific reasons — and the right audit handles all of them in one visit.
You are losing heat you cannot explain. Your furnace runs constantly. Some rooms never warm up. Your utility bills have crept up year over year without any obvious cause. A blower door test and thermal scan identify exactly where your building envelope is failing — whether it is air leakage through a 1990s vapour barrier, missing insulation above a garage, or a window frame that has shifted through freeze-thaw cycles.
You are applying for CEIP or CMHC and need the right documentation. The EnerGuide evaluation is not optional for either program — it is mandatory. And it must be completed in the correct sequence or the cost is not reimbursable. We sequence every booking correctly before we confirm it.
You are buying or selling a Calgary home. Buyers use the EnerGuide rating and Renovation Upgrade Report to understand long-term operating costs before closing. Sellers use a pre-listing audit to demonstrate efficiency and justify price. A home with an EnerGuide label and a documented upgrade plan sells differently than one without.
You are planning upgrades and want to know what to do first. The Renovation Upgrade Report ranks every possible improvement by energy savings per dollar invested — against your specific home's data, not generic estimates. It tells you whether insulation, air sealing, a heat pump, or new windows gives you the best return before you spend a dollar.

FAQ related to all Energy Audit
Homeowners often have questions about how an energy audit works, what to expect during testing, and how the results translate into real‑world savings and comfort. These FAQs give you clear, practical answers so you can understand the process, the benefits, and how an audit helps you make smarter upgrade decisions.
What is a home energy audit and how is it different from a home inspection?
A home inspection identifies physical defects — what is broken, deteriorating, or unsafe.
A home energy audit measures performance — how efficiently your home uses energy and where it is losing it.
The two assessments look at the same building through completely different lenses. A home inspection tells you what needs to be repaired. An energy audit tells you what needs to be improved and in what order to get the best return.
InspectionExperts is the only Calgary team where individual staff members hold dual certification as both home inspectors and energy advisors — meaning you can have both completed by the same certified professional in a single visit, at a combined price lower than booking separately.
BUT YOU WILL NEED TO BOOK A COMBINED SERVICE SPECIFICALLY.
Who needs a home energy service in Calgary?
Homeowners planning upgrades need an energy audit before choosing contractors or products — the Renovation Upgrade Report tells you what to fix first and what it is actually worth. Homeowners applying for CEIP financing or a CMHC rebate need an EnerGuide evaluation as a mandatory program requirement — without it, no application can proceed. Buyers use the EnerGuide rating to understand a home's long-term operating costs before closing. Sellers use a pre-listing audit and EnerGuide label to demonstrate efficiency and support their asking price. Builders and renovators use construction blower door testing to verify performance at completion.
Each situation calls for a different InspectionExperts service — the cards above link to the right one for your situation.
Are InspectionExperts energy advisors NRCan-registered?
Yes. InspectionExperts operates under AmeriSpec's NRCan Service Organization registration. Every EnerGuide evaluation we deliver is conducted by a NRCan-registered Energy Advisor and meets the technical standards required for CEIP, CMHC Eco Improvement, CMHC Eco Plus, and all NRCan program submissions. If a program requires an official EnerGuide label to unlock financing or a refund, our report qualifies — accepted by program administrators without exception.
How long does an energy audit take?
It depends on which service you book. A standard EnerGuide Home Evaluation takes two to three hours — the blower door test alone takes approximately 30 minutes with all windows and exterior doors closed. Older Calgary homes built before 1990, homes with crawlspaces, complex additions, or multiple mechanical zones may take closer to three hours. The Eco Advantage program, which combines a home inspection and EnerGuide evaluation in one visit, takes three to four hours depending on the home's size and age.
We confirm the expected duration when you book based on your home's specific configuration.
Do energy audits help with rebates or incentive programs?
Yes — and for the most significant programs currently available to Calgary homeowners, the EnerGuide evaluation is mandatory, not optional. CEIP financing of up to $50,000 requires both a pre-project and post-project EnerGuide evaluation — and the pre-project evaluation must be completed after submitting your CEIP pre-qualification form, not before. If you get this order wrong, the audit cost is not reimbursable. CMHC Eco Improvement requires an EnerGuide evaluation to support the 25% mortgage insurance premium refund for homeowners spending $20,000 or more on eligible upgrades. CMHC Eco Plus requires an EnerGuide label confirming a newly built home meets the efficiency threshold.
No competitor in Calgary explains the sequencing consequences of getting this wrong. We walk through the correct order with every client before confirming a booking.
Which municipalities does InspectionExperts serve for energy audits?
InspectionExperts delivers EnerGuide evaluations and energy audit services across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Canmore, Banff, and surrounding CEIP-eligible communities. CEIP program eligibility varies by municipality — Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and Canmore each operate their own CEIP program with specific terms and intake windows. Contact us to confirm program availability and current intake status for your specific address before booking.
Can I pair a home energy service with other InspectionExperts services?
Yes — and for Calgary homes, pairing is often the most efficient approach. Thermal imaging is included in the EnerGuide evaluation and identifies heat loss pathways and hidden moisture behind walls. Mold, VOC, and particle testing confirms whether moisture discovered through thermal imaging has created an indoor air quality issue. An annual maintenance inspection combined with an energy audit gives you a complete picture of both your home's physical condition and its energy performance in one visit. Booking these together costs less than separate visits and produces a single integrated report. Ask about combined booking pricing when you cal
Not sure where to start? How do I know which energy service is right for my situation?
Call or text AmeriSpec InspectionExperts at (403) 257-4820. We review your property type, municipality, mortgage type, and upgrade plans and tell you exactly which service applies — and in what order to book it — before you commit to anything. Getting the sequence right matters: booking an EnerGuide evaluation before your CEIP pre-qualification is submitted, for example, makes the audit cost ineligible for reimbursement.
We walk through the correct steps with every client before confirming a booking.
