Homeowners :: About Us

Our Approach

Homeowners suffering from rooms that are too hot or too cold, or frustrated with high energy bills can turn to Home Performance with ENERGY STAR to help solve their comfort problems. The new program directs homeowners to contractors who are trained by Southface to provide comprehensive, unbiased assessments of their homes. This Home Performance with ENERGY STAR assessment includes a prioritized list of improvements that the contractor can perform to make the home more energy efficient, comfortable and healthy.

What to expect during a Home Performance with
ENERGY STAR assessment

The Home Performance with ENERGY STAR assessment may take three to five hours. The contractor will charge a fee for the assessment. During the assessment, the contractor will test and visually inspect every part of your home. The contractor will give you a full report detailing what improvements should be made in your house. Items that will improve the energy efficiency of the house will be prioritized into levels according to their energy savings. Additional items for improving indoor air quality may also be recommended based on the results of the assessment.
