A Quick Home Energy Checkup (QHEC) is a quick and easy way to reduce your annual kWh usage and increase the savings that you’re already receiving by switching your rate. When you schedule a QHEC, an energy professional will come to your home and check a variety of different areas of your home to identify ways to help you save energy and money.

HOW IT WORKS:
Requesting a QHEC is easy, just like our rate-switching services. Once you submit your request, one of our home energy representatives will contact you to schedule an appointment for a technician to conduct a 60-minute walk-through assessment on your home. Your technician will assess the condition of the following items:
Insulation Levels
Air Leakage
Heating & Cooling Systems
Windows & Doors
Lighting & Appliances
Water Heating Equipment
The technician’s assessments will be compiled into a report that summarizes important findings, recommended improvements as well as opportunities to reduce your energy use and costs while improving the comfort of your home. These may include:
LED Light Bulbs
Faucet Aerators
Efficient-Flow Fixed or Handheld Showerheads
Water Heater Pipe Insulation (Installed on hot and cold pipes six feet from the water heater)
“Smart” Power Strips
ShowerStart® Showerhead Adapter
