Whole Home Audits & Retrofits
PECI helps homeowners build the foundation for long-term energy savings. We engage homeowners in ongoing conversations, guiding them along a path of continuous and meaningful home improvement. From online screening tools to comprehensive in-home assessments, our programs connect homeowners to the most cost-effective retrofits. We simplify the process of making high-efficiency home improvements, offering personalized recommendations to homeowners, along with rebates and incentives to offset the upfront costs so the savings are immediate.
Online Audits
User-friendly online tools help homeowners prioritize potential retrofits. With upfront screening, we’re able to determine which participants will gain the most benefit from our programs. By establishing relationships with these participants, we can assist them in making additional energy-saving improvements rather than settling for a one-time participation experience.
In-Home Audits
We offer comprehensive in-home assessments along with customized savings estimates. The friendly “kitchen table” energy bill review allows homeowners to connect savings estimates with their actual history of energy use, as we work together to determine what changes can help lower those bills and improve comfort.
Whole-Home Retrofits
PECI offers a comprehensive, whole-house approach to home improvement that results in better energy efficiency, greater comfort and lower energy bills. PECI’s audit process offers homeowners customized improvement options. We partner with local contractors and connect them with homeowners to achieve the greatest energy savings for their investment.
Home Energy Score
As co-developers of the Energy Performance Score, PECI and its programs are paving the way for a nationwide energy labeling initiative – the Home Energy Score. The HES is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and will allow homeowners and homebuyers throughout the nation to assess and compare the energy performance of homes. It will also provide information on the energy savings associated with optional upgrades.
From July 2010 through August 2011, PECI and its partners performed 1,898 in-home audits for the Utah Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program.
Utah Home Performance is on track to nearly double projected conversion rates, with 45% more homeowners completing major retrofits after audits.
