Increase comfort and savings with a Home Energy Solutions assessment.

Learn about the factors of home energy efficiency View Below
Approximately 43 percent of your energy budget goes toward heating and cooling. Is your home hot in the summer and cool in the winter? An energy-inefficient home can be a big contributor to high home energy costs and poor temperature control. Luckily, there is an easy and cost-effective way to find these inefficiencies in your home. A home energy assessment by our energy experts will evaluate your home top to bottom, provide on-the-spot fixes, make recommendations and provide rebates you can use to improve your home’s energy use.

Replacing your incandescent light bulbs, both indoors and outdoors, with ENERGY STAR® qualified light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will use up to 90 percent less energy and last up to 25 times longer.

Save energy by washing clothes in cold or warm water rather than hot and rinsing in cold water.

Leaving several inches of space behind and on the sides of your refrigerator so air can circulate around the unit can increase efficiency.

Having your contractor set your hot water heater at 120° F (many are preset at 140°) gives you the optimal temperature setting for efficiency.

Installing wall outlet and switchplate gaskets on exterior walls helps reduce the flow of cold air into the home.

When turning off a dimmer switch, it should be completely in the off position – not just turned down – or it will continue to use electricity.

We saved money with a home energy assessment.

  • Donna H.

    Upon his arrival back from work on the day of the assessment, my son pointed out immediately that our home felt more comfortable as well.

  • Jen K.

    At the end of the day, it’s so nice to return to a comfortable house that we know is not only insulated properly but is also saving us money on our monthly utility bill.

  • Rich K.

    The house this winter felt more snug and less drafty. The rebates really make a big difference, and that’s important for homeowners to know. With making the change to the insulation and the HVAC system, I have certainly seen a change in my electric bill.

  • Susan P.

    The contractor went above and beyond, and we are ecstatic about our savings!

  • John M.

    As a result of the work, in the first month we realized a savings of $50 on our bills, over the same time period the prior year! That, to us, is HUGE!

  • Neida O.

    We’re saving about $180 a year from the initial service and now we’re looking forward to the wall insulation for even more savings.

  • Jason E.

    The house is less drafty and it was cooler this summer. We feel that our air conditioning cools more quickly as well.
