Green Audit USA

What Green Audit USA does

Green Audit USA is a Long Island, NY-based home energy efficiency and solar contractor founded in April 2009 by Jay Best. The company performs whole-house energy audits using blower door testing, infrared thermography, and combustion safety analysis, then delivers integrated retrofit work spanning insulation (cellulose, spray foam, foam board), air sealing, HVAC (including oil-to-gas conversions and ductwork), and residential solar installation via its SunPower Authorized Dealer status (since May 2017). Its customer base is entirely residential, focused on Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties) with Queens, NY added in March 2016, and has served more than 1,000 homeowners since inception.

The business operates a field-sales model in which BPI-certified auditors conduct free in-home assessments, then present customized upgrade proposals. The audit itself is free to homeowners, funded through PSEG Long Island (paying contractors $250-$400 per audit) and NYSERDA programs, while downstream retrofit and solar work generates project-based revenue. Financing is offered through Green Jobs-Green New York loans (3.49%-9.99% by income tier) and the HomeAdvance (Sealed.com) pay-for-performance program, and the company handles rebate and incentive processing on the homeowner's behalf.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no institutional funding or M&A activity is recorded, and the company remains founder-owned with 11-50 employees. Competitive positioning rests on a limited set of regional credentials (BPI Goldstar, RESNET HERS Rater, SunPower Authorized Dealer, founding member of the Long Island Green Homes Initiative) and integrated whole-house capabilities rather than technology differentiation.
