One of the most important things you can do to make your home more energy efficient is to schedule a home energy assessment. No matter how you heat and cool your home, energy professionals will help you make improvements that lower your energy bills for immediate and long-term savings.
Whether you’re buying a home or updating where you live now, a home energy assessment will show you how a smart energy home makes life better. It’s about more than just “energy.” A smart energy home is about comfort, convenience and the health of your family. It’s about making your home work more efficiently and more economically. It’s about creating a home you value more.
STAY INFORMED
The energy your home loses through cracks and holes in your walls, windows and doors can represent 25-50% of your heating and cooling costs!
Energize Connecticut offers a variety of information and resources for homes (and businesses) to save energy. This includes solutions for homes of all types from high-efficiency furnaces to residential solar hot water. At the core of their services is the home energy assessment, performed by Home Energy Solutions (HES).
HES currently offers in-person assessments and no-cost virtual pre-assessments. A utility approved technician will provide an energy report tailored specifically to your home, install basic weatherization and energy-saving measures and provide information on rebates and financing for insulation projects, heat pumps and more.
