Energy Assessments
​​​At Green Homeowners United, our certified Energy Assessors use specialized tools and Department of Energy-approved methods to identify where your home is losing energy and what you can do to improve it. Whether you live in an older home or a newer build, a professional home energy assessment is the first step toward smarter upgrades, lower energy bills, and year-round comfort.

Air leakage and draft detection through a professional blower door test
-
Combustion safety testing for furnaces, water heaters, and gas appliances

Solar panel feasibility based on your home’s structure and orientation
After the assessment, you’ll receive:

A personalized, detailed report with energy-saving recommendations
