Home energy assessments
Not sure where to start on your home electrification journey? Would you like to get a better understanding of your home’s energy efficiency? Or an idea of where to get the most savings? A Home Energy Assessment is a great place to start.
A Home Energy Assessment, also known as a Scorecard Assessment, is a comprehensive evaluation of a home’s energy efficiency and sustainability. The assessment will provide your home a rating. The rating is determined by a number of factors, including insulation, current heating and cooling systems, appliances, among others. The rating is presented on a scale from 0 to 10 stars, with a higher star rating indicating better energy efficiency.
By having a Home Energy Assessment conducted, you can identify areas in your home where you can lower your energy consumption, reduce your energy bills and create a more comfortable living environment in your home. You will also receive recommendations for upgrades that you can undertake to make your home as energy efficient as possible, meaning you can make informed decisions about energy upgrades.
