How to Get Started…

Take a class

Kaplan Professional Schools in partnership with CMC Energy are excited to present Home Energy Tune-uP® training nationwide.

In order to become a trained energy inspector students must be a qualified home inspector or have a technical background in building/home construction technology.

Complete Your Practice Inspections

Upon completing the training course, CMC Energy requires that inspectors complete 2 FREE practice inspections. These practice inspections can be performed on the student’s home, or the home of friends or relatives. Once entered into the Tune-uP software, a member of our staff will review the inspections and notify of the inspector of the successful completion of the training program.

Perform the Tune-uP System to perform Energy Inspections

One the inspector has successfully completed 2 practice energy inspections the inspector can now offer this beneficial service to clients. Each Home Energy Tune-uP® inspection must be entered it into CMC Energy’s web-based program for a small fee, currently $20. (We encourage inspectors to set their energy inspection fees to cover this cost.)
