Do the Home Diagnostic and receive a personalized recommendations
report. It will suggest ways you can save energy and money without sacrificing comfort.
Your report is unique, because it is based on your answers to questions
about your home, the number of people in your household and their energy use habits. Your report includes two kinds of tables:
- The breakdown of your energy costs by type of use (heating, cooking, etc.)
- For some energy-saving measures, an estimate, in dollars and kilowatthours, of how much
you would save if you put them into practice

Potential savings in dollars and kilowatthours
You’ll receive personalized recommendations based on your answers
