Get a Home Energy Audit to Identify Ways to Improve
If you live in the Missoula County area, sign up for Garden City’s VIC Program and you’ll save money on routine plumbing and HVAC maintenance. Part of keeping your residential HVAC systems up-to-date is getting them inspected, cleaned, and tuned up regularly. Annual inspections for your air conditioning unit and heater, not to mention pipes and ductwork, is wise for homeowners. The easiest way to do this is with the VIC Program – for “Very Important Customers” – and it will save you money and spare you from untimely surprises such as equipment breaking down or finding out your electric bills are going up.
The first thing to do once you’re a VIC is to get a Home Energy Audit. This is where a Garden City technician thoroughly inspects your whole house or living space and conducts Home Performance Assessment to expose areas of your home that can be fixed and weatherized. Your audit will reveal the problems and you can decide which solutions are best. Sometimes the easiest fixes make a huge difference, like adding insulation, sealing cracks, and other minor repairs. The whole idea is to make your space more energy efficient and help you to save money on utilities during the peak seasons. There may even be no-cost solutions you can do yourself to see improvements right away.
Schedule a Home Performance Assessment and Start Saving Your Energy!
What are you waiting for? Call Garden City for a Home Performance Assessment and have a technician inspect your living space and give you a Home Energy Audit. Once you have that, you can focus on areas that need to be addressed in order to save energy and bring down the cost of utilities each month. The sooner you get started, the faster you’ll be saving energy and spending less on bills!
