Home Energy Audit Sydney
A measured, 7-day diagnosis of every circuit in your Sydney home, installed by a licensed electrician and turned into a clear report showing why your power bill is high.
The audit
What is a home energy audit?
A home energy audit is a measured assessment of how electricity is used inside your home. Instead of guessing from your retailer bill, Power Audit records usage directly from your switchboard.
Unlike a visual energy-efficiency checklist, a Power Audit measures real electricity usage at your switchboard. We show which circuits and appliances are using power, when they run, and whether faults, standby loads, solar issues or metering problems are contributing to your bill.
Open a sample home energy audit report to see the circuit-level charts and recommendations customers receive.

Standby loads, meter errors and abnormal overnight drains
Measured findings
What our Sydney home energy audits can find
Many Sydney homeowners contact us because their electricity bill has increased and the retailer bill does not explain why. A Power Audit measures electricity usage at the switchboard so the cause is visible.
Hot water systems
Find tanks, timers or control-load issues that make hot water run too often.
Pool pumps
See whether pump schedules are using more electricity than expected.
Air-conditioning
Measure peak-period load, standby draw and systems that never fully switch off.
Solar behaviour
Check whether solar is offsetting household usage the way it should.
EV charging
Understand charging cost, timing and the benefit of shifting load.
Battery systems
Review charge and discharge behaviour against household demand.
Standby loads
Spot overnight drains and circuits using power when they should be idle.
Meter discrepancies
Compare measured circuit-level usage with unusual billing or meter patterns.

Local proof
Real issues found in Sydney homes
These examples use existing published Power Audit case-study facts and show why circuit-level electricity monitoring is more useful than guessing from a bill total.
Family home
Bradbury hot water fault
A $2,338 quarterly electricity bill was traced to a hot water tank using 79% of total electricity after a faulty thermostat kept it running.
Small home
Rouse Hill meter discrepancy
Monitoring found a 27.5 kWh gap between utility meter data and measured circuit usage, plus always-on air-conditioning standby and spa load.
Childcare centre
Chatswood energy drain
The audit found hot water on the expensive general supply, excessive service-area lighting and a costly Green Power fee.

FAQs
Home energy audit Sydney FAQs
Straight answers about Sydney residential energy audits, electricity usage monitoring, solar, hot water and what happens after the 7-day measurement period.
How much does a home energy audit cost in Sydney?+
A residential home energy audit in Sydney starts at $695 inc. GST for 10 circuits. Each additional circuit is $50. The service includes install, 7 days of monitoring, removal, full analysis, the PowerAudit Report and a 1-on-1 follow-up.
What does a home energy audit include?+
A licensed electrician installs sensors on each circuit at your switchboard, records 7 days of usage at 2-minute intervals, monitors key appliances with smart plugs where useful, then we deliver a written report with prioritised recommendations.
Can a home energy audit find why my electricity bill is high?+
Yes. A Power Audit measures electricity usage at the switchboard so we can identify whether hot water, air-conditioning, pool pumps, solar behaviour, EV charging or standby loads are driving the cost.
Is this the same as a DIY home energy audit?+
No. A DIY or visual energy-efficiency checklist can be useful, but it does not directly measure circuit-level electricity usage. Power Audit records real data for 7 days and turns it into a written report.
Do you check solar, batteries and EV chargers?+
Yes. We can monitor solar, battery and EV charging behaviour where those circuits are available at the switchboard or can be checked with supporting smart-plug data.
Can you find hot water, pool pump or air-conditioning faults?+
Power Audit can identify abnormal usage patterns that point to hot water, pool pump or air-conditioning issues, including systems running at the wrong time or drawing power when they should be idle.
Do I need a smart meter for a Power Audit?+
No. Our audit uses switchboard energy monitoring, so it does not depend on you already having a smart meter. Billing or meter data can still help with comparison where available.
Is this an energy-efficiency audit or an electricity usage audit?+
It is a measured electricity usage audit. We focus on what your home is actually using, when it runs and which circuits or appliances are contributing to the power bill.
How long does the monitoring equipment stay installed?+
The monitoring equipment stays installed for 7 days. That captures weekday, weekend, daytime, night-time and standby behaviour.
Will I receive a written report?+
Yes. You receive a written PowerAudit Report with charts, tables, findings and recommended actions, plus a 1-on-1 follow-up with Ryan.
Is a home energy audit worth it?+
For many Sydney households on quarterly bills above $500, yes. Power Audit clients have found hot-water faults, meter over-reading and standby drains that can pay back the audit quickly when the right issue is fixed.
Which Sydney suburbs do you service?+
Power Audit services the Sydney metro area, including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Sutherland Shire, South-West Sydney and Western Sydney.
