What does a Home Energy Solutions visit include?

Our team of certified energy specialists will come to your home for a 4-6 hours visit. It all begins with a walk through assessment to check the home's energy efficiency, health and safety. Once done, the team will set up their blower door and begin to actually seal those leaks. This program is far more than just an energy audit and walk through. The certified energy specialists will tackle those energy projects you haven't had the time to get to, like sealing up the cracks and air leaks in your home. All or most of the following will be addressed at your home:

Contractor energy assessment services may include the following:
 

  • A blower-door test which pinpoints critical drafts and air leaks. After they are found, the contractor will professionally seal them during the visit.
  • A duct test to assess air leaks within the ductwork system. The technician will seal those significant leaks.
  • Hot water-saving measures including low-flow shower-heads and faucet aerators will be installed.
  • Rebates for qualifying central air conditioning systems and for replacement of certain inefficient appliances with qualifying energy-efficient models.
  • Incentives for insulation upgrades
  • A 'kitchen table wrap-up' where the technical will review the work that was done in your home and tell you about additional resources that can help you save energy and money.
