A BPI-certified professional audit ($300–$800) includes physical tests: a blower door test that measures air infiltration, an infrared scan that shows heat loss in walls, and duct leakage testing. These physical tests are valuable for older homes where insulation and air sealing status is unknown.
HomeShark's AI audit uses public property records, satellite solar data, regional energy benchmarks, and (optionally) your utility bill to replicate most of the financial analysis. It's accurate enough to identify your highest-priority upgrades and qualify you for rebates — without the cost or scheduling delay.
Consider a professional audit if: your home is pre-1980, you've experienced unusual utility spikes, you're planning a major renovation, or you need a formal HERS rating for an energy-efficient mortgage (EEM) or specific utility rebate program that requires one.
No technician visit. No lengthy forms. HomeShark does the work of a $500 professional audit in under two minutes.

"I had no idea I qualified for a $6,600 solar credit plus another $2,500 from Austin Energy. HomeShark took 3 minutes and I'm now saving $187 every month."
"The neighbor comparison was eye-opening — I was using 34% more electricity than similar houses. The insulation upgrade paid for itself in under two years."
"I uploaded my electric bill photo and within 2 minutes had a full report showing $9,200 in available credits. The contractor match was seamless."
A professional audit includes a blower door test (air leakage), infrared camera scan (insulation gaps), HVAC efficiency test, utility bill analysis, and a prioritized list of recommended upgrades with estimated payback periods.
HomeShark replicates most of the analysis using public property records, satellite imagery, and AI trained on millions of homes. It's not a replacement for a blower door test, but it accurately identifies your highest-priority opportunities without the $300–$800 cost.
Your HomeShark report lists every federal, state, and utility rebate available at your address. For each upgrade, we show the exact rebate amount, how to apply, and connect you with vetted local installers.
No — it's optional. But uploading a bill makes your report 3× more accurate because our AI reads your exact kWh usage, rate, and provider. Without it, we estimate from your property data.
These terms are often used interchangeably. A formal HERS Rating or BPI-certified audit is a credentialed professional assessment required for some financing programs. HomeShark's audit is an AI-powered assessment that's sufficient for identifying rebate opportunities and planning upgrades.
