What to Expect During a Home Energy Evaluation
The energy evaluation is conducted on-site at your home. The initial (pre-upgrade) evaluation takes approximately 2–3 hours. A second (post-upgrade) evaluation takes up to 1 hour.
The energy advisor will conduct a basement-to-attic assessment of your home's insulation, heating, cooling, and other energy use.
A blower door test will be conducted to test for air leaks, which can cause wasted energy, uncomfortable drafts and poor air quality.
Your home will be given an energy rating using the Natural Resources Canada rating system — the lower the rating the better.
You will receive a full report outlining recommendations for improvements to help reduce your energy bills and increase your home's comfort.
The following safety measures are in place for all home visits:
- You will receive two screening calls prior to the Home Energy Evaluation.
- The first call will be made at the time of the booking. The second call will be made 24 hours prior to the scheduled home visit.
- Any special requests, to keep us all safe, can be made during the screening calls.
- Our Registered Energy Advisors will wear masks throughout all home visits.
- The Energy Advisors will carry with them, and use, both hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray.
- Gloves and shoe covers, or indoor shoes, are available and will be worn if requested.
- Social distancing will be maintained throughout the Home Energy Evaluation.
We continue to monitor the situation and will make any adjustments to the above procedures as required.
