Wages vary by employer and area of the country. Wages may also vary by the type of audits being performed. Energy auditors who perform smaller audits (such as an individual home) may earn less than auditors who perform audits of larger buildings and structures.
Full-time energy auditors may receive benefits. Typical benefits include health insurance, sick leave, and paid vacation. Those who work for small companies may need to provide their own insurance.
