WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN?

An energy-efficient home not only saves the homeowner money, but by using less energy it can help lend to decrease the environmental impact created by the production and consumption of electricity. Additionally, homeowners will receive a free energy efficiency kit, a detailed report of their energy usage, and can save anywhere from 5-30% on monthly energy bills.

I RENT, CAN I HAVE AN ASSESSMENT DONE?

Consult your landlord or property manager before scheduling an energy assessment.

HOW MUCH WILL AN ASSESSMENT SAVE ME?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you could save between 5-30% on monthly electric bills.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

60-90 minutes depending on the size of your home, the accessibility of select areas and appliances and the number of questions you have.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO MYSELF?
