Questions about your Home Energy Assessment

A Home Energy Assessment from CMC Energy Services is a unique way to lower your monthly energy bills and improve energy efficiency in your home. It includes:

• A comprehensive energy audit of your home
• An average $1,100 worth of professionally installed weatherization measures that can save you 25 percent or more on your monthly energy and water bills
• Recommendations for further improvements and discounts or rebates for which you may be eligible

All work performed in your Home Energy Assessment is delivered as part of Connecticut’s Home Energy Solutions (HES) program and supported by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund.

Your Home Energy Assessment will:

• Lower energy bills in every season – improvements can reduce energy bills by up to 25 percent and water bills by up to 30 percent
• Reduce cold drafts and be more comfortable – keep cold air out in the winter and cool air in during the summer, and keep odors from neighboring living spaces out of your home
• Reduce your carbon footprint – using less energy is better for your wallet and the planet
• United Illuminating and Eversource HES customers will get a Department of Energy Home Energy Score (for homeowners) – this third-party evaluation can be used to market your home in the future if you chose to sell it

You are eligible for a Home Energy Assessment if:

• You are a Connecticut homeowner, or have written approval to participate in the program from your landlord.
• You occupy this home or apartment full-time.
• You have not participated in HES or another subsidized weatherization program within the last 18 months.
• You have an active electric meter from a participating electric utility.

Connecticut residents who pay an electric or gas utility bill support the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund, in part, through a small fee on their monthly bill.The Fund supports utility companies in Connecticut by providing expertise and financial incentives to help their customers reduce energy use in their homes and businesses. HES is one of the programs the Fund supports. CMC Energy Services is a preferred contractor for the HES program.

Lowering energy use in your home helps utility companies, since it reduces the amount of energy they have to produce and distribute. Lowering energy use is a win-win for you and your utility.
