Energy audits begin in Carbondale for area homes
Carbondale homeowners Chuck and Janet Vaught welcomed an Illinois Energy Audits Association audit as auditors assess a typical three bedroom house. Audits cost about 100 dollars with a 15 dollar customer fee and include a solar survey and weatherization tips. The Vaughts have kept costs low with a tight thermostat and weather-stripping, and auditors noted only modest improvements needed.

Illinois energy audits face criticism over $15 cost and bill impact
The Illinois Energy Audits Association and eight utilities, including Central Illinois Public Service, face scrutiny for a two year home energy audit program. Critics note the $15 per audit fee, with the remaining $85 covered by the utility and rolled into the rate base, potentially raising rates. CIPS argues most can afford $15 and discusses loan barriers while promoting municipal programs in Carbondale that offer weatherization loans and grants for low income and elderly residents.
