How Can EnergyARM Help Homeowners?
You have found the most comprehensive energy auditing resource available today. EnergyARM handles all the details effectively, automatically and transparently. This means that you can access details regarding your energy audit and monitor its progress. You can view and analyze the energy improvement bidding process and you alone must authorize the final scope of the project. All progress will be documented and important details and/or milestones will be subject to photo or visual documentation and approval. Even the funds approved for the energy improvements will be protected through an escrow process that ensures completion of every energy measure before the funds will be dispensed. All financial details will be available to you, plus all related documentation. Why be satisfied with anything less?
Here are some of the important benefits for the homeowner who uses EnergyARM.
- Every contractor and auditor who enters your home is professionally trained and certified in their field.
- Because our Energy Auditors are certified as a Building Analyst by the Building Performance Institute, they understand how furnaces and hot water heaters work, and will ensure that your home will be safe, even after it is tightened up and made more energy efficient
- The contractors who enter your home will have a photo ID. You will be able to see this photo ID on the website, so you will know what the person looks like before they get there.
- With help from your Homeowner Contractor Representative, you are in control of the contractor selection and energy improvement selections.
- EnergyARM will show you what your energy savings will be after your energy improvements, what that means in dollars and cents, and how much carbon your improvements have been responsible for.
- As a result of the energy improvements on your home, you may be eligible for tax credits or incentives from government or utilities. EnergyARM will make sure you know exactly what you are eligible for and how to qualify. We will walk you through every step of the way.
- In the EnergyARM process, your home will be given a “HERS Rating” by a Energy Rater certified by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET). Your HERS Rating is a score that ranks the energy efficiency of your home. Because the HERS Rating is the official energy rating of the Home Mortgage Industry, you can use this Rating to be eligible for a Home Improvement Mortgage. This give your home more value and makes the selling of your home easier.
