Default home energy audit in summer. Worth it?

Hi,
I've qualified for a New York State-approved home energy audit and I can pick any number of certified energy consultants (

I'm thinking about the blower door test and infrared camera that the contractor will probably use.

Is it worth it to perform this energy audit now, in late May? or should I wait until November/December so I can get a significant temperature difference between inside and outside. I'm not in a rush. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this audit, or used this equipment in summer and whether it made sense to do in the summer.

Thanks
Theodore.

When we had ours done (here in Ontario Canada) they used the blower
door, but no thermal imageing camera. Had it done late summer/early
fall IIRC.
