    • A home energy assessment including a blower-door test which pinpoints critical drafts and air leaks. After they are found, the technician will professionally seal them during the visit.
    • A duct test to assess air leaks within the ductwork system. The technician will seal those significant leaks.
    • Hot water-saving measures including low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators will be installed.
    • Rebates for qualifying central air conditioning systems and for replacement of certain inefficient appliances with qualifying energy-efficient models.
    • Installation of energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs.
    • Incentives for insulation upgrades (gas and electric heated homes only).
    • A “kitchen table wrap-up” where the technician will review the work that was done in your home and tell you about additional resources that can help you save energy and money.
