Home Performance with ENERGY STAR - Xcel Energy Customers

February 04, 2019

Summary

Note: Xcel Energy will double Focus on Energy incentives.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® offers homeowners instant discounts for making recommended air sealing and insulation improvements. A home energy assessment is the
first step. Energy assessments are performed by certified Home Performance Trade Allies.
These contractors are trained to identify comfort and health issues and will
provide  personalized recommendations and access to the rewards.

Energy Assessments vary in scope, length and cost depending the age, size and condition of your home. A typical assessment includes an inspection of your home's interior, exterior, attic, crawl space and basement. Your Trade Ally may perform technology-based diagnostic tests including: a blower door
test to identify air and duct leaks; a combustion safety test to ensure appliance efficiency, measure carbon monoxide levels and check for gas leaks; and infrared camera testing to detect voids
around windows and doors or missing and damaged insulation.
