FAQs

• What happens during an energy assessment?

  During your assessment we will:

  • • Perform air sealing and insulation specification (if applicable)
    • Conduct infrared testing (if applicable)
    • Test for combustion safety
    • Install energy-saving equipment, including LED bulbs, programmable thermostats, and water saving devices (as needed)
    • Discuss our recommendations for additional energy-saving improvements
    • Review and screen for rebates and incentives available you may qualify for, including your eligibility for an ENERGY STAR refrigerator rebate. Rhode Island Save offers weatherization rebates of 75%, up to $2000 towards the cost of the installation.

  Please note: All key decision makers should be present during your assessment.

• How long does a home energy assessment take?
