Getting started on the path to a more efficient and comfortable home just got easier. If you purchased a home recently in the city of Portland, you may already have a Home Energy Score and Report, which provides customized recommendations for your home. Energy Trust of Oregon will help you make improvements to your home, which could also improve your Home Energy Score.
The Home Energy Report evaluates your home’s characteristics and provides estimated energy use and associated costs. It includes recommendations to inform your home upgrade decisions, which can lower your energy bills and make your house more comfortable year-round.
You can find your Home Energy Score Report by searching here for your home’s address.
