Residential Energy Audits

2010 Tax Credits

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a stimulus bill (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. We're talking 30% tax credits. This is a big deal.

An energy audit is the crucial first step in developing a plan for Geo Thermal, Solar PV, or Solar Thermal energy. After all, what's the point of having green energy if you let that energy out the window? AEGreenstar provides all of these technologies through our sister companies.

Energy Savers

Many of our customers are looking to save money through reducing their energy consumption, making their energy affordable. By identifying energy leaks within the home, in the form of air leaks, duct leaks, insulation needs, and many other energy consuming problems. Our customers are able to perform the necessary upgrades themselves, hire AEGreenstar and its partners to upgrade these household elements, or hire third parties for these upgrades.

Sometimes, upgrades for energy (financial) conservation come in the form of green technologies, like Geothermal, appliance upgrades, and, even solar technologies.

Readying to Green Up

AEGreenstar has many environmentally conscious customers who are looking to conserve more than their funds- they are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. A home performance/energy audit is the first step in using energy wisely. The use of a green technology, such as geothermal, solar thermal, or solar PV (electricity) is maximized when coupled with an energy efficient home.

Typical Outcomes of a Home Performance/Energy Audit

Each home is different, but most homes can see remarkable improvement in their energy costs from making small to medium investments in their home's infrastructure. Our customers typically see 10-25% reductions in their home's energy consumption- without changing their comfort settings or habits. It's like losing weight without exercise!

Utilizing green technologies show a much higher reduction in energy use, however the payback time is extended becauseof the costs for these technologies. HOWEVER, there may be significant financial opportunities for adopting these technologies now. - see our FINANCIAL section for the MOST up to date information on tax credits, loan opportunties, grants, and more!
