Home Energy Assessments & Weatherization

Learn how home energy assessments, weatherization improvements, insulation, and air sealing can help improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and lower energy costs in your Vermont home.

Understand your home’s energy use and opportunities for improvement.

A home energy assessment can help identify where your home is losing heat, uncover opportunities to improve comfort, and highlight upgrades that may reduce energy use. Whether you’re dealing with drafts, uneven temperatures, or high heating bills, a home energy assessment is often the first step toward understanding where improvements can make the biggest impact.

  • You want to improve comfort year-round

What to Expect

Every home is different. That’s why we start by understanding how your home uses energy before recommending potential improvements. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We’re here to help you identify practical opportunities to improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and make informed decisions about your home.

Our Energy Coach can help identify practical, low-cost improvements and recommend next steps based on your home’s energy use.

A comprehensive assessment can identify air leaks, insulation gaps, and other opportunities to improve comfort and efficiency.

After the assessment, you’ll receive recommendations that can help guide future weatherization improvements such as:
