Homeowner Benefits

Here are some of the important benefits for the homeowner who uses EnergyARM

  1. Professional:  Every auditor who enters your home is fully insured and professionally trained and certified in their field.
  2. Safety First:  Because our Energy Auditors are certified as Building Analysts by the Building Performance Institute, they understand how furnaces and water heaters work, and will test that your home and its combustion systems will be safe, even after it is tightened up and made more energy efficient.
  3. Secure:  The auditors 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.
  4. You Are In Control:  With help from your Homeowner Contractor Representative, you are in control of the trade contractor selection and energy improvement selections.
  5. Energy Improvement Data Provided:  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 reduction your improvements will have been responsible for.
  6. Financial Incentives Documentation:  As a result of the energy improvements on your home, you may be eligible for tax credits or incentives from the government or utilities.  Your EnergyARM Home Performance Contractor will help you determine exactly what you are eligible for and how to qualify.  You will receive the documentation you need.
  7. Added Value to Your Home:  In the EnergyARM process, your home will be given a “HERS Rating” by a Home 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 gives your home more value and makes the ability to sell it easier.
