As your trusted energy partner, we believe savings and efficiency are within reach for everyone, and we want to help you get there.

That’s why TCEC offers free home energy audits.

An energy audit provides a holistic view of your home’s efficiency. Understanding how your home uses energy can help determine the best ways to adjust energy consumption, improve problem areas and ultimately keep more money in your wallet. An energy audit can also identify potential safety issues surrounding electrical wiring and HVAC systems, making your home safer. You could say this is a good kind of audit.

So how does it work? First, request the energy audit by contacting a Member Service Representative at 850.973.2285 or stopping by your neighborhood co-op office. The audit is conducted at your home by one of our trained energy advisors.
 

What to expect during the audit
The audit is comprised of three parts: evaluation, energy testing and recommendations.

First, our energy advisor conducts a walk-through of your home, examining energy use and identifying problem areas.

The advisor will look at specific elements of your home impacting energy use such as doors, windows and insulation levels. The advisor will also examine major appliances including your heating and cooling system and conduct a room-by-room assessment. During the assessment, the advisor will ask questions about your energy use habits and review past energy bills.

The advisor will also conduct thermal imaging of the home to detect heat loss that is invisible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging can reveal inadequate insulation levels, HVAC airflow, radiant heat malfunction and additional key factors.

The power to save is in your hands
Finally, the advisor will provide you with a detailed evaluation. Including recommendations regarding energy consumption and steps you can take to improve efficiency and save money.

One of the greatest values of an energy audit is helping you understand how you use electricity and more importantly,
identifying ways to use it more efficiently.

Additionally, making improvements and upgrades based on the evaluation can increase your property value––all the
more reason to schedule an audit for your home.

Free energy audits are just one of the many perks of your co-op membership, so we hope you’ll take advantage of
this valuable service.
