Home Energy Score
How energy efficient is your home?
A Home Energy Score helps you understand how energy efficient your home is, learn ways to make it more efficient, and ultimately save money while reducing pollution.
The opportunity
Through a state grant, the City of Ashland is covering the cost of a Home Energy Score. From now through May, Ashland utility customers can take advantage of this great service — which normally costs hundreds of dollars per home.
How it works
After signing up and scheduling an appointment, our Home Energy Navigator Peter Lagemann will inspect your home, examining factors that affect energy use, such as insulation, the age of the water heater, and the air conditioning system.
That data creates your Home Energy Score and helps you make a plan. Improvements include things like weatherization upgrades (sealing air leaks) and equipment upgrades (moving from gas backup furnace to an electric heat pump). The Score also shows areas where you can save money.
Meet Peter Lagemann
A Home Energy Assessor is your point person for the Home Energy Score. They don’t just deliver a rating—they help you understand what it means and how to act on it.
To fill this role, Ashland Climate Collaborative recently brought on Home Energy Navigator Peter Lagemann.
“I walk people through the score, give them my recommendations on home improvements, and show people all the great rebates available.”
Those include brand new rebates from the City of Ashland that can help community members save thousands on upgrades, including electric panel upgrades, heat pumps, and more.
The visit takes about an hour.
