Why make your properties more energy efficient?
Approximately 43 percent of your energy budget goes toward heating and cooling your rental units. Are your tenants complaining of being hot in the summer and cold 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. A home energy assessment by our energy experts will evaluate your tenants’ home top to bottom, provide on-the-spot fixes, make recommendations and provide rebates you can use to improve your property’s energy use.
