Why EnergySmart: Get An Expert Project Guide!


Why do you need an EnergySmart Advisor?

EnergySmart is the easy way to a more comfortable home that saves energy and money. Your advisor assists all along the way to streamline the improvements that you have been dreaming about! The advisor service will help you find the sneaky ways your home is wasting energy, as well as great deals on energy upgrades. We’ll even help you apply for rebates and financial incentive!

“I thought I was just getting an energy audit but it has been much more than that. The energy advisor is a great service - helping me understand the results of the audit, helping me prioritize what work to do first, providing me a list of contractors and then helping me to understand the various bids, letting me know of rebates and helping me with the paperwork. It has been the most cost-effective investment I've ever made for my house.” Mary N.

Your EnergySmart Advisor can:
  • Connect you with a technical home energy assessment, answer any questions you may have about your home and give tips based on results from similar homes
  • Explain your customized report on your home’s energy use
  • Help determine the most cost-effective home improvements
  • Help you find and apply for available rebates and financial incentives
  • Help you get and evaluate bids from qualified, pre-vetted contractors

Overall, an EnergySmart Advisor can help you determine which options are best for you!


“Our Energy Advisor, Jeff, was very helpful and streamlined the whole process. We really appreciated knowing that our contractors were qualified to work on our house.” Mark and Kate Villarreal

Upgrade Update - Reichert Family Grand Prize

For those of you following all things EnergySmart, you will remember the Grand Prize winners of the Home Energy Makeover, the Reichert family.

Disbelief and excitement when the EnergySmart Home Energy Makeover Surprise Prize Patrol arrived.

John recently updated EnergySmart on the progress of their upgrades and had some great news!

What upgrades have you had completed so far?
  • The tankless water heater has been installed
  • The 96.7% efficient furnace has been installed 

Out comes the old water heater...

...in goes the new!


Thank you, Kahar Plumbing & Heating, Inc.!

What is still ahead for you?
  • Mid February, the following work is scheduled for completion:
  • Insulation in both attics to an R48 or R36 value (can’t remember)
  • Insulation of the knee wall between attics
  • Blown in insulation in the walls on main level
  • Blown in insulation in the ceiling of the garage
  • Blown in insulation in the over hang outside below master bedroom
  • Insulation of the rim joists in basement
  • Installation of electrical outlet for the tankless water heater (currently using an extension cord)
  • Installation of the evaporative cooler

Are you seeing changes to the comfort of your home?
With our old furnace, we set the thermostat to 69-70 degrees for heat and it seemed to run constantly.  Also, my sons room was always cold.  With the new unit, we keep the thermostat at 66 at night, and 67 during the day – any warmer and it is too hot!  Also, it doesn't run nearly as much, and can really put out the heat when needed!  My son stays nice and warm now.

The tankless water heater has an unexpected challenge that came along with it – the challenge of discipline!  It creates unlimited hot water, so if you really wanted to, you could take a really nice, warm and long shower, or soak in the tub. 

I just want to thank everyone again – we are extremely fortunate and very grateful for everything. I have spread the word about Energy Smart to everyone I know, and will continue to do so. Thanks again!


Warm homes and showers make it all worth it!
