After you have audited your home and identified upgrades, the next step is to make the upgrades to your home. You can do them all at once, or you can tackle individual projects in phases. The Energy Analysis and Upgrades report provides cost and savings estimates that can help you choose which upgrades to implement first.

We recommend hiring an experienced energy professional to help you with the major improvements to your home. Finding the right contractor is often a daunting task, but that's why we are here to help. Using our extensive database of qualified contractors in your area, we can help you find the right contractor (or contractors) to get the job done.

The next step is to contact one of our contractors and get more specific information about your project, including their prices and availability to do the work. Consulting with a contractor does not commit you to doing the work now, but prepares you to start improving your home as soon as you are ready. Contractors are a great source of information and their input can help you decide what work to do and when.

Each of our programs handles this step a little differently, so you will need to log in and let us know what city you live in before we can tell you exactly how to continue.

The first step is to analyze your home's energy efficiency and identify opportunities for improvement. An Energy Performance Score (EPS) Audit can do just that! A certified EPS Auditor can inspect your home and provide a Scorecard that assesses current energy consumption and predicts what the savings would be after making improvements. Along with the Scorecard, a detailed Energy Analysis and Upgrades report explains the Auditor's recommended upgrades and analyzes their impact on energy and cost reduction.

After reviewing the results of your EPS audit, your next step is to implement the recommendations. While you can make some minor fixes yourself, we recommend that you contact a professional contractor that specializes in energy retrofit projects. Through our participating programs, we can help you find qualified contractors in your area.

Home improvement can be expensive, but luckily there are many tax rebates and financing programs available to help with these costs. We can help you learn about all the different options.
