Could You Qualify for Rebates Using a Home Energy Assessment?

Saving money on your efficiency upgrades — and for years after that!

At this time of the year in Fairfield, Hartford, Middlesex, New Haven and Litchfield Counties, our customers’ homes need all the heating efficiency they can get. Unfortunately, too many houses leak warm air through abrasions in ductwork, subpar insulation, old windows and other gaps in the building’s thermal envelope.

Energy-inefficient homes in our part of Connecticut lose a lot of money and comfort through these gaps. At Valiant Home & Comfort, our team has developed proven ways to help customers stay warmer in the winter, keep cooler in the summer, stay safer all year round and use less energy in the process. The process begins with a Home Energy Assessment — and you may qualify for reduced costs on both the assessment and the home efficiency fixes. From there, you will enjoy significant energy savings for years to come.

What Is a Home Energy Assessment?

A Valiant home energy assessment is a thorough evaluation of your home’s efficiency, comfort and safety. Our certified technicians use blower door testing to pinpoint air leaks and identify solutions to reduce drafts, duct losses, water waste and unnecessary HVAC use.

By improving your home’s performance, you can enjoy lower energy bills, year-round comfort and a smaller environmental footprint. Many assessments also reveal hidden safety concerns, such as carbon monoxide risks, mold or electrical issues, helping protect your home and family.

What Kinds of Efficiency Solutions Do You Offer?

Depending on the types of HVAC and water waste our test uncovers, we will suggest a slate of options that will keep your family safer and more comfortable, while saving you a lot of money. Some of our most popular efficiency solutions include:

• Improving insulation
• Replacing old, drafty windows with efficient multi-pane windows
• Closing up leaky ductwork with Aeroseal
• Smart thermostats and home automation products

Can I Get Rebates and Other Financial Help for Home Efficiency Work?

Absolutely! Our team will help you receive any available rebates, incentives and financing options that can lower your costs. In fact, families that meet certain household income limits (and who have not received an assessment in six years) can qualify for a FREE Home Energy Assessment through Energize Connecticut!

And the annual energy savings our customers see tend to pay back their initial investment quickly — often in less than two years! Consider these recent success stories:

• Tamara has a 900-sq-ft ranch-style home with oil heat and window A/C units. She upgraded attic insulation and sealed ductwork with Aeroseal to improve efficiency and comfort. After rebates, the upgrade cost $1,010 out-of-pocket, and she saw annual energy savings of $532!
• James and Carol have a 1,500-sq-ft split-level home with oil heat and central A/C. They added insulation in the garage, ceiling and basement and sealed ducts with Aeroseal. After rebates, they paid $780 out-of-pocket, then enjoyed annual energy savings of $454.
• Michael lives in an 89-year-old, two-story colonial with oil heat and central A/C. He improved attic and basement insulation and sealed ducts with Aeroseal. After rebates, the project cost $1,275 out-of-pocket. His annual energy savings: $879!
