During the audit, a professional energy advisor will assess your home and identify ways that you can save on your energy bills. The auditor can answer questions you have about insulation, heating and cooling equipment, appliances, etc, to help you determine areas for improvement. You will also receive an audit report which lists recommended energy efficiency projects tailored to your home, along with estimated annual cost savings associated with each upgrade.
Home energy audits are a great way for homeowners to learn about their energy use and find ways to save money by reducing their energy consumption. Energy efficiency upgrades recommended through an energy audit can save the average homeowner hundreds of dollars per year in energy bills!
Historically, energy audits had been offered as an in-home service and this is still how most customers choose to have their audits completed. However, due to Covid-19, you now have the option to choose an in-home audit, or, can instead choose to have a virtual audit if you are more comfortable with this remote/virtual service. We hope that by providing both in-person and virtual audits, customers will be comfortable moving forward with this valuable service.
In-Home Audits:
In you would like an in-home audit, unvaccinated customers will be asked to wear a mask during the visit, and you can also request vaccinated field staff to wear a mask if this makes you more comfortable.
Virtual Audits:
If you are interested in a virtual audit, an auditor will work with you to determine if you are eligible by asking you some questions related to what technologies you have access to, your comfort with digital applications, and your ability to navigate to specific areas in your home. If the auditor determines they will be able to complete a virtual audit for you, the auditor will set up a convenient time and accessible digital medium, in order to capture the necessary information about your home. Following the audit, you will receive a detailed report outlining potential energy saving opportunities.
