Hidden Opportunities to Save Energy and Money

Don’t Let Energy Sneak Out of Your Home

A home energy assessment can help you pinpoint any trouble areas or sneaky spots
where your home may be losing energy — so you can prioritize improvements for greater comfort, savings, and efficiency.

During your assessment, a Trade Ally contractor will sleuth out opportunities to save, using tools that include:

• Visual inspection of your living space, attic, basement, or crawlspace.
• A blower door test to measure air leaks.
• Combustion safety and ventilation tests to ensure heating equipment, such as your furnace and water heater, are operating correctly and there’s sufficient air circulation.
• An optional infrared camera scan to identify air leaks or lack of insulation in walls.

What Happens Next

After the assessment, your Trade Ally contractor will provide a customized energy report highlighting which upgrades are the best investment for your home.

You’ll have a chance to see which rebates you qualify for and get help prioritizing efficiency measures. Your Trade Ally can price out the work, present a contract, and be there to help you complete each step of your home improvements.
