    If you are not ready for a comprehensive home energy audit, a quick professional or do-it-yourself inspection can help to set you on the right path to making energy efficiency improvements for your home. Search online for “home energy audit DIY” to find tips and guidelines for how to effectively assess your home on your own.

    Potomac Edison also offers a Quick Home Energy Checkup* at no charge. This assessment is less detailed than the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® audit and will not qualify for the home improvement project rebates. A kit of energy saving devices is provided to participating households. Call 1.888.267.4685 to schedule an audit.

    * Program details current at the time of publication and are subject to change.

    Preparing in advance can help you to get the most out of your time with a professional auditor or to make sure you have the tools you need on hand to conduct a do-it-yourself audit. Make a list of questions or problem areas for your auditor. Think about the areas in your home that often feel too hot or too cold. To learn what to expect and how to prepare for the audit, check out Energy Circle's audit overview.

    If you have localized heating or cooling,(such as baseboard heating or a window A/C unit), and a room that's not in use, make sure to close the door and the vents so that energy is not wasted to cool or heat the room.

    However if you have a centralized HVAC unit, open your internal doors to maximize your units efficacy. A centralized system is designed to move air through your entire home. When a room is closed air becomes trapped and pressurized, the pressurized air will escape from your home in any way it can. This puts extra strain on your HVAC unit and waste energy.

    Furniture that is placed within 2 to 3 feet of the radiator will absorb the heat that would otherwise rise to circulate and heat the room. Don’t place anything on top of the radiator or position furniture or rugs directly on top of floor vents as it prevents air circulation.
