Westchester County Offers Free Energy Audits |
 |
| 2010/9/8 |
Westchester launched a new program Tuesday Aug. 31, which offers free home energy assessments to homeowners who want to learn how they can make their homes more airtight and energy efficient, with the added benefit of saving money.
The Home Energy Assessment Program, sponsored by the Workforce Investment Board and the Business Council of Westchester, will be offering free home energy assessments for 2,000 county residents on a first-come first-serve basis.
As a partner and certified selected contractor, BrightHome Energy Solutions will participate in the free assessments and the homeowner can decide whether or not to go complete more comprehensive testing and repairs if needed.
“These assessments will not only be free, but they will save homeowners money in the long run,” said county executive Robert P. Astorino. “Once you get the facts and know how efficient your heating and cooling systems are, you can figure out what improvements are needed to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy bills.”
Starting today, homeowners can call 211 to set up an appointment with an authorized contractor such as BrightHome. A representative will screen the caller to determine whether they qualify for a free assessment and answer any questions. An authorized contractor will then call the homeowner directly within 24 hours to schedule an appointment.
The homeowner will get the results of the complimentary assessment immediately after the contractor’s visit. At that point, they will decide whether they should follow-up (at their expense) by hiring that contractor, or another for a more comprehensive assessment, which usually involves several diagnostic tools and specialized computer software. If additional repairs are needed, the homeowner would need to arrange for those independently.
Call takers at the 211 call center can also help homeowners learn about federal grants or state incentive programs that could help with any needed repairs.
