Home Energy Checkup

Most of us don’t real­ize it, but a lack of insu­la­tion or a minor air leak can add up to big elec­tric bills, espe­cial­ly dur­ing the win­ter and sum­mer months. That’s why Coastal Elec­tric offers our mem­bers Home Ener­gy Check-Ups free of charge to help keep your elec­tric bills down and sup­ply you with use­ful infor­ma­tion you need to keep your home ener­gy effi­cient year round.

What is a Home Energy Checkup?

  • Check for ade­quate insu­la­tion and ven­ti­la­tion in attics and floor areas.
  • Per­form an on-site inspec­tion of your heat­ing and cool­ing sys­tem and elec­tric water heater to deter­mine its effi­cien­cy.
  • Check the effi­cien­cy of your home light­ing sys­tem.
  • Exam­ine win­dows, doors, sky­lights, plumb­ing, elec­tri­cal open­ings, and duct­work for air leaks (if acces­si­ble).
  • Eval­u­ate the ener­gy effi­cien­cy of your home appli­ances

As soon as the eval­u­a­tion is com­plete, the Coastal Elec­tric Mem­ber Ser­vices Advi­sor will give you a detailed report, by request, indi­cat­ing prob­lem areas that exist in your home, along with a list of rec­om­men­da­tions explain­ing what steps can be tak­en to reduce your ener­gy costs. Our spe­cial­ized pro­fes­sion­al will dis­cuss how your indi­vid­ual fam­i­ly’s lifestyle can impact your ener­gy usage and your over­all month­ly ener­gy bill and answer any ques­tions you might have.

If you are plan­ning to build a new home or remod­el your home, our Mem­ber Ser­vices Advi­sors can also vis­it with you to dis­cuss ways to design and build a more ener­gy-effi­cient home.
