Learn how your home uses energy and how to make it more comfortable and affordable.
The Home Energy Score helps you understand how efficiently your home uses energy and gives you clear recommendations to improve comfort and lower energy bills.
In some areas, energy upgrade rebates may be available to help make improvements more affordable. You may also be eligible for $250 to apply towards the cost of obtaining your score.
What Is a Home Energy Score?
The Home Energy Score, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, rates your home’s energy efficiency on a simple 1-10 scale.
Each 1-10 score comes with a customized Home Energy Score Report that includes personalized recommendations — starting with weatherization and building toward electrification — to make your home more comfortable, affordable, and climate-friendly.
A higher score means lower energy use, greater comfort, and a home that’s more affordable to operate.
