FREE HOME ENERGY CHECK-UP
What is an Energy Check-Up?
An Energy Check-Up is a condensed version of our Comprehensive Energy Audit. Our Energy Check-Up is a free service where our team comes to your home and performs a visual inspection of your home in order to identify potential problem areas and develop a plan to remedy those concerns to provide you with a more healthy, comfortable and affordable home environment. This service involves a one to two hour appointment where our team will perform a brief interview with the homeowner as well as a visual inspection to determine energy efficiency, durability, health & safety, indoor air and water quality and overall performance of the building.

Step 1: Initial Interview
First, we conduct an interview to collect background information and historical data on your home or building. We will also discuss any existing energy or ventilation problems and listen to your concerns, goals or plans that you have for your home.
Step 2: Outdoor Inspection
Our trained expert team members will examine the exterior of your home, performing an evaluation of doors, windows, overhands and skylights. We take into consideration the orientation of your home or building along with any vegetation that affects shade and windbreak.
Step 3: Indoor Inspection
Our interior inspection is broken down into two parts: Main Level & Basement and Upper Floors. When examining the main level and basement of the home or building, we are looking at the thermostat, furnace, water heater, basement wall and band joint insulation, ducts, windows, doors, flooring, washer hoses and all appliances. The evaluation of the upper floors includes an examination of the attic, lighting, insulation/ventilation, windows, doors and skylights.
Step 4: Review Results
Your Smart Home Services consultant will review the preliminary findings with you so that you have a general idea of where you can make improvements. The data is taken back to the office where it is analyzed and compiled into a report that outlines the specific steps you can take to make your home or business more energy efficient.
