Making your home more energy efficient is one of the most effective ways to help lower your energy bills. The first step is to analyze how your home uses energy.
There are many factors specific to your home that you’ll want to consider. These could include the direction your windows face, the number of floors your home has and even the style of your home, all of which can impact the amount of energy your home needs to stay comfortable year-round.
It might seem overwhelming when deciding where to begin, but we’re here to help. That’s why we offer the SRP Home Energy Assessment to help you get a better idea of how your home uses energy.
What is an SRP Home Energy Assessment?
An SRP Home Energy Assessment is an appointment with an experienced SRP Energy Ambassador who performs a thorough 90-minute evaluation of your home and how it uses energy. Your Energy Ambassador will then generate a detailed report based on their findings.
Customers can decide between an in-person or virtual appointment. The in-person assessment is free for customers who meet certain income requirements, while it will cost $49 for all others. All virtual assessments are free.
This energy-saving opportunity isn’t exclusive to just homeowners! If you live in a complex that has four units or fewer, talk with your property manager about why you’d like to have your home assessed. With their approval, you can schedule an assessment.
