CLEVELAND, May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy
Ohio is offering home energy efficiency assessments for just
$50 to eligible residential
customers, providing them ways to save money year-round on home
cooling and heating costs. The assessments are available through
the company's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®
program, administered by CLEAResult, a leading energy efficiency
services provider in North
America.
The program includes a home energy efficiency assessment to help
diagnose high utility usage and other home comfort issues, and then
provides rebates of up to $1,250 for
completion of recommended energy-efficiency improvements. Dominion
Energy Ohio customers may call 1-877-287-3416 to schedule an
assessment or visit deohpwes.com for program details and
eligibility information.
The program also offers a NEST Thermostat E unit, a $169 retail value, for the discounted price of
just $50, when purchased along with
the regular Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®
assessment. The Nest Thermostat E enables customers to adjust their
thermostat from anywhere, via remote control, using their smart
telephones, tablets or laptop computers. The unit allows customers
to check their energy history, showing how much energy they are
saving and how they can save more. Nest also can tell customers
about their furnace, filters and more.
"This program has helped more than 28,000 homeowners since 2010
to find both quick steps to save energy and to identify larger
projects that could save them considerable money," said
Jim Eck, Dominion Energy vice
president and general manager, Ohio & West Virginia Distribution.
The energy efficiency assessment is the first step in the
program. An energy auditor visits customers' homes to help pinpoint
energy losses through diagnostic testing and a professional
evaluation. Following the energy assessment, customers receive a
customized energy report with the results, plus recommendations and
information on rebates available through the program.
Recommended improvements typically include air sealing and
insulation, HVAC equipment upgrades, window and door replacements,
plus much more. These improvements can help customers decrease
utility bills, while increasing home comfort, safety, durability
and resale value.
Residential customers also may receive such products as a carbon
monoxide detector, a high-efficiency showerhead and water-saving
faucet aerators and water heater pipe wrap at no cost (a
$100 value).
Customers who could most benefit from an energy efficiency
assessment are those who may be experiencing drafts and fluctuating
room temperatures, moisture and mold issues or those who have
inefficient cooling and heating equipment in an older or poorly
built home.
