Energy Smart offers free home assessments to improve efficiency

Homeowners can access free Energy Smart home assessments to identify energy waste and improve indoor comfort. These personalized evaluations aim to uncover hidden air leaks, insulation gaps, and heating or cooling inefficiencies. Through these assessments, residents may also receive recommendations for upgrades and be connected to available rebates and incentives to make improvements more affordable.

To prepare for cooler weather, maintenance tasks such as replacing HVAC air filters and inspecting water heaters are recommended. Flushing sediment from traditional water heater tanks and insulating exposed hot water pipes can improve efficiency. Additionally, sealing gaps around doors and windows helps prevent heat loss and reduces the strain on heating systems.
