Did You Know?

It takes a lot of energy to heat, cool, and operate a home. Most home buyers purchase a home without first understanding what it will cost to operate it once they move in.

The average homeowner can save over $500 every year on utility bills by following the prioritized recommendations within the Home Energy Report™.

The Report.

The Home Energy Report™ will give a home buyer a quick understanding of:

• how much a home will cost to operate once they move in;

• where energy (and, therefore, money) is being wasted in the home; and

• what can be done to save energy and increase comfort.

The Inspection.

To produce a Home Energy Report™, your inspector will collect over 40 data points related to home energy, including:

• number and age of new occupants;
• local energy prices;
• building design and orientation;
• light bulbs, number and type;
• insulation R-value at the foundation, ceiling and walls;
• air tightness and air leakage rates;
• skylights and window types and sizes;
• appliances and equipment, size, age, capacities and efficiencies; and
• heating, cooing and water heating data.
