WasteWatts: Home Energy Waste Audit

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page gives you a complete room-by-room energy waste audit. You check off issues you find in your home, and WasteWatts builds a priority action list sorted by estimated savings and effort.

The checklist covers lighting, heating, cooling, appliances, water, insulation, and phantom loads. Each item shows a quick explanation of why it matters and what a typical fix costs.

When you are done, you can print the results, copy them, or share a link. Below the checklist you will find a low-cost fix pricing table, a landlord-request template, common mistakes to avoid, seasonal tips, and answers to frequent questions.
