Energy Trust of Oregon offers a free home energy review for Oregon & Washington homeowners. In case you don’t know Energy Trust, they are an independent nonprofit organization that helps Oregonians (and now Washingtonians, too) save energy and money through free educational and other services, referrals to contractors, cash incentives, and information about tax credits. You are eligible for their services if you own a property in Oregon or Washington and are a customer of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas. For more information about Energy Trust, go to www.energytrust.org.
I had a home energy review myself and it was great. An Energy Trust advisor came out and did a one-hour visual inspection of my home, including insulation, my heating system, windows, air sealing, ventilation, moisture problems, etc. In my case, he recommended underfloor insulation and gave me a list of Energy Trust contractors (“trade allies”). I had the insulation corrected, had some air leaks sealed up and my ducts retaped, and was reimbursed almost 50% by Energy Trust! Not to mention having lower energy bills and a toasty bedroom floor now! Energy’s Trust Home Energy Review brochure is at the end of this article.
To schedule your free home energy review, sign up at Energy Trust/Residential/Home Energy Review. Please be sure to tell Energy Trust that you were referred by me. (In the box, “How did you hear about Energy Trust’s Home Energy Review?” I’d appreciate your filling in “Real Estate Professional” and my name, Pat Flynn.)
