Even in the best of times, everyone needs a little help, and now Grand Valley Power offers HELP to its members. Home Energy Loss Prevention is a new program that offers home energy audits to our members free of charge.
The home energy audits are designed to assist GVP members with everything from high bills, to energy consumption, to trouble shooting. Home energy audits can point out which appliances use the most energy, where possible air leaks are, and in some cases which appliances might be starting to fail.
The audit will be performed by a GVP employee with an infrared camera. The infrared camera, used in winter months as well as the summer months, will show areas within the home that might need additional insulation, caulking, or sealing. This feature will allow the homeowner to zero in on areas that would benefit the most from immediate attention. The audit will require about one hour to perform and will include tips for the homeowner regarding heating and cooling systems as well as lighting habits.
Once the audit is complete, the member will receive a report in the mail that will include the infrared images as well as possible suggestions to HELP reduce their electric consumption. |
