Energy Audits
Lower Valley Energy (LVE) helps provide members with a residential energy audit. LVE will schedule an Energy Expert to do a walkthrough of your home to help identify any possible energy inefficiencies and answer any questions the member may have. There are fees for the Energy Audit, however the fee is refundable if the member completes any of the recommended weatherization projects that will be included in the audit report. If no projects are recommended, then the audit fee is waived. Blower door testing and thermal imaging are available for a larger non-refundable fee. Small incentives and loans could be available depending on the projects that are identified in the report. Please see below for the possible incentives. Contact LVE’s Conservation Department with any questions or click here to request an energy audit.
