The Home Energy Score is a great way to enhance your business by adding a DOE-supported service to your portfolio. By providing the Home Energy Score, you can supply customers with reliable home energy information to help them save money on energy costs and live more comfortably in their homes. Whether you are an energy auditor, home inspector, or another type of residential energy professional, you can become qualified to offer the Home Energy Score.
Assessors provide valuable information to homeowners, homebuyers, and renters who are curious about the energy assets – and associated costs – of a home. As energy labeling becomes more influential in the real estate market, stay ahead of the curve and offer this vital information in your service portfolio.
