Save money on your utilities with a Home Energy Reportâ„¢!
Many homeowners could save hundreds of dollars every year without really changing their lifestyle. InterNACHI’s Home Energy Report™ provides simple, basic, prescriptive measures that millions of homeowners can take to reduce their energy bills, while making their homes more comfortable, and use that money for something they really want.
To generate a Home Energy Reportâ„¢, the Home Energy Inspectorâ„¢ conducts a brief walk-through of the home and collects about 40 data points related to energy, essentially the same data gathered during a general home inspection. The Home Energy Inspectorâ„¢ then uses a reporting tool that interfaces with the Home Energy Saverâ„¢ of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the engine that powers InterNACHI's Home Energy Reportâ„¢.
The Home Energy Reportâ„¢ recommends energy-saving upgrades that are appropriate to the home and make sense for the home's climate and local energy prices. The money invested in these upgrades commonly earns "interest" in the form of energy savings of over $500 every year, which is an impressive overall annual rate of return on investment.
