A home energy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a home’s energy efficiency and sustainability. The assessment is based on many factors, including:
- material of building and insulation
- size of each room
- size and orientation of windows
- lighting
- heating and cooling
- hot water systems
With a home energy assessment, 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 receive recommendations for upgrades that you can undertake to make your home as energy efficient as possible. This means you can make informed decisions about energy upgrades.
