Free Online Energy Evaulation

We've developed a free online home energy evaluation to help you identify ways in which you can improve your home's energy efficiency.

The evaluation contains questions about your home's construction, heating system, appliances, windows, insulation levels and landscaping and should take you about 15 minutes to complete.

When you submit the evaluation, your results will be returned to you in a web page and be emailed to our Energy Experts. You will also receive recommendations for changes you could make to improve your home's energy efficiency and information about PUD energy efficiency programs that might benefit you. You can request a follow-up visit from one of our Energy Experts if you'd like to learn more about your energy-saving opportunities.
