SRP/APS unveils Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program

For only $99, customers can find ways to give their home a tuneup

SRP and APS launched the new Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, a whole-house approach to energy efficiency that identifies specific actions customers can take to reduce household energy costs.

For the discounted price of $99, SRP and APS's comprehensive assessment uncovers barriers to a home's energy efficiency. This two- to three-hour assessment, which typically costs about $500, will be conducted by an SRP/APS-approved Home Performance contractor. The assessment includes:

"Most people aren't aware that air leaks represent a sizeable portion of home air-conditioning and heating costs," said Debbie Kimberly, SRP's manager of Energy Efficiency & Policy Analysis. "Our new home assessment examines those issues, checks for proper installation of insulation and many other factors that can make homes quieter and more comfortable."

Within 10 business days of the assessment, contractors will provide a report that highlights all the energy-saving opportunities and lets the customer decide which, if any, improvements to make. SRP and APS also can help customers arrange and pay for enhancements through rebates for shade screens, duct repairs, insulation, air sealing and new high-efficiency air-conditioning systems.

Participants who learn how to improve energy efficiency in the home also will receive an energy-efficiency kit with 10 compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), a low-flow showerhead and three low-flow faucet aerators that will be installed during the assessment, if feasible.

The SRP and APS Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program is open to current residential electric customers who own an existing single-family home; new construction is ineligible.
