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.

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!
