Home Energy Assessment FAQ
What is a home energy assessment?
Home energy assessments are designed to help identify opportunities to save money and energy in your home. We currently offer two types of assessments through the Home Energy Savings offering:
In-home assessments: Qualifying income-eligible customers may recieve a free in-person home energy assessment from a trained energy advisor including free energy-saving products and a comprehensive report recommending additional ways to save both money and energy. Eligible customers may also qualify to receive free weatherization improvements like air sealing and insulation.
Self-assessments: Customers can complete a short online survey about your home's energy use and receive free or discounted energy-saving products delivered to your home for self-installation. You will also receive recommendations to help you save even more. Customers who complete a self-assessment will not be able to receive additional services through the Home Energy Savings offering.
