A little preparation helps your Home Energy Score appointment go smoothly. We reserve 90 minutes for the visit; most assessments take about 60 minutes.
Before your appointment
- Confirm the property address and approximate square footage when booking.
- Make rooms, the attic access, crawlspace or basement access, and heating, cooling, and water-heating equipment accessible.
- Clear stored items from access points so the assessor has room to work.
- Tell us in advance about locked areas, access restrictions, or anything that may affect the visit.
You do not need to climb into an attic or crawlspace or remove electrical covers yourself. Leave assessment work to the assessor.
What happens during the visit?
Your assessor records the home’s dimensions, windows, insulation, and major energy systems, including accessible equipment and spaces. Photos and measurements document the information needed for the Home Energy Score.
The assessor reviews the collected information and enters it into the U.S. Department of Energy’s Home Energy Score tool.
Payment and report delivery
No payment is collected when you book. We send an invoice after the assessment. Once payment is received, we send your official Home Energy Score report and a Green Building Registry report link.
Keep the report and share the registry link with your real estate professional when preparing the listing. You can also search the Green Building Registry for an existing report.
