What is a Home Energy Audit?
Did you know that even the smallest air leak in your home can cause your AC / Heating system to run more than it should, wasting energy? GVEC wants to help keep your energy bills as low as possible, which is why we offer members a FREE in-home energy audit.
It’s an easy way to find the energy wasters in your home and how you can become more energy efficient. Call us for an appointment and a GVEC Energy Solutions Specialist will meet with you, free-of-charge, to examine the energy efficiency of your entire home. Once the evaluation is complete, our Advisor will give you a detailed report, by request, detailing any problem areas in your home along with recommendations for reducing energy costs.
It’s a great time to ask questions as our Advisors also share information about how a family’s lifestyle habits impacts energy usage. To make an appointment, call an energy solutions specialist at 800.223.4832.
This includes:
- Checking to see if you have adequate insulation and ventilation in attics and floor areas.
