Free Home Energy Assessment!
Energize your home and get more comfort and savings! Starting on January 1, 2013 and running through June 30, 2013, the Peabody Public Library will be partnering with Energizing Indiana to encourage our patrons to have a free Home Energy Assessment. For every supporter who signs up and completes a Home Energy Assessment, Energizing Indiana will give a $25 donation to the Library, up to $25,000. What a great way to support your local library and save money from your own budget!
What’s in it for you?
Energy Advisors will guide you step by step through the process to produce long-term, cost-effective energy savings by analyzing your energy use, recommending appropriate efficiency measures and by installing several low-cost energy-saving measures. Advisors will also assess the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in your home to determine if they are operating efficiently. They also may inspect your home’s air duct sealing, insulation levels and more to evaluate your home’s energy consumption and heating and cooling efficiency.
In the process they may include energy saving measures such as
- Replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with efficient CFLs (limit 9)
- Installing low-flow faucet aerators (limit 3)
- Installing low-flow shower heads (limit 2)
- Water heater insulation wrap (on electric heaters only)
Once your home’s energy assessment is complete, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing what can be done to start saving energy and make your home more comfortable. Many times a Residential Home Energy Assessment reveals that only simple and relatively low-cost improvements are necessary to achieve significant energy savings.
