What We Do

In less than an hour, Energy Equity Builders can assess your home's performance and recommend affordable solutions that shift payments to your savings account instead of the utility company's

 ...And get greater comfort, air quality and tax incentives for doing it!

How We Do It

1. We start with an Energy Scorecard developed by the Department of Energy: 

a 1-hour “house call” assessment, a quick and low-cost way for homeowners to understand their home's energy performance.  The walk-through is conducted by a Building Perfomance Analyst certified by BPI and recognized by EnergyStar and the Department of Energy as well as Missouri's Department of Natural Resources. 

2. The full Home Energy Audit option is a more rigorous BPI certified energy assessment and tests the envelope, combustion zones, and  moisture issues. It can include a blower door test (measure hidden leaks), infrared scan (find exactly where the hidden leaks are located), HVAC combustion and leakage test to insure air quality in the process.

3. You choose which Remediations you want to do this year. The appropriate remedies are prioritized from the least costly/ most beneficial  upgrades you can make to your house. This work usually focuses on lighting, insulation and caulking (air sealing). Some of the work may be done by the homeowner or all of it by our (much faster, much better trained) crews. There may be Energy Star suggestions that can take energy improvements to a whole new level. The goal is to qualify you for lower utilities, energy purchase rebates and tax incentives to help pay for it all. We even have access to new low cost financing - some of it from the St Louis County Saves Program.
