Residential Services

Home Energy Solutions – a residential in-home service providing professional energy assessments and weatherization improvements to help customers reduce their energy use and cost. This program is supported by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund and administered by CL&P, UI and the natural gas companies. For just $75, qualified customers may be eligible for the valuable services available in this program. Offer subject to change due to program funding - so don’t delay!

These services may include:

• A home energy assessment including a blower-door test to pinpoint critical drafts and air leaks. After they are found, the technician will professionally seal them during the visit.*
• A duct test to assess air leaks within the ductwork system. The technician will seal those significant leaks.*
• Provide and install hot water-saving devices including low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators.
• Rebates up to $500 for qualifying central air conditioning systems and up to $300 for replacement of certain inefficient appliances with qualifying energy-efficient models.
• Provide and install up to 14 energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (4 standard and 10 specialty types).
• A check of your insulation and rebates for upgrades if needed (gas and electric heated homes only).
• Customers may be eligible for Double Rebate incentives for this program.
• A “kitchen table wrap-up” where the technician will review the work that was done in your home and tell you about additional resources that can help you save energy and money.
  
  * Within program guidelines.

NECS and our partners specialize in the installation of cellulose insulation. Properly installed, cellulose provides superior insulation and soundproofing at a cost that is much less than comparable petroleum based insulation. Cellulose is also biodegradable when disposed and takes far less energy to produce than other insulation types. Adding insulation can be a highly effective way to combat rising fuel costs and make your home more comfortable throughout the seasons.

In our experience, homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have a particularly high rate of insulation breakdown. Typically, these materials have been damaged by moisture or other environmental agents, which breaks down the insulation and impacts energy efficiency.

Infrared technology combined with blower door infiltration analysis allows homeowners to diagnose areas of a home that are not energy efficient and that can't be visually inspected.

An infrared inspection can be used to verify any items in question and will produce hard copy documentation of all conditions. (Thermography is not a standard component of Home Energy Solutions but is available at additional cost. Call us for more information.)
