Every home is different. The Energy Smart Home Energy Assessment provides a comprehensive report outlining opportunities for energy improvements that are specific to your home.
During the assessment, the analyst will complete safety testing to test the air quality of your home and use specialized equipment to detect for gas leaks.
Many utility or community rebates require a home energy assessment prior to issuing rebates.
Your analyst may install “quick-fixes” like LEDs, a programmable thermostat, bath or kitchen faucet aerators, low flow showerheads, pipe wrap, or a water heater blanket at no cost to you. These “direct installs” can provide immediate energy and cost savings on your utility bills.
Buildings in the United States are the single largest emitter of carbon emissions. Your assessment report will provide information to improve the efficiency of your home, creating a more comfortable, affordable and efficient home.
“Due to Energy Smart’s audit and the upgrades I was able to make, I am confident my home is more efficient, but more importantly, I know it is safe. I have great piece of mind knowing that my home and family are safe from any possible gas leaks or carbon monoxide fumes. The Energy Smart assessment is a tremendous value.”
A Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified energy analyst will visit your home and complete a number of tests including:
You are not required to be home for the entirety of the Assessment, but you are encouraged to be, as it is a great opportunity to learn about your home as a system. Depending on the heating source of your home and its square footage, the analyst may be in your home for two to four hours.
The Home Energy Assessment is typically valued at $400 to $500. The cost of the Assessment varies depending on your location and utility provider. Your local Energy Smart Colorado office and/or utility partner may partially subsidize the cost, which often brings the cost down to less than $150.
Homes above 3,000 square feet or mechanically complex homes may incur additional costs.
