Your Home EQ Score
Your Energy Quotient, calculated from your actual gas and electricity usage and home details, tells you how you're doing and how you compare to others. This lower your score is, the less energy you use.

Rebates and Tax Credits
Even with excellent long-term payback, we understand that home improvements cost money upfront. We can link you with financial incentives that can save real money. We’re here to make it easy.
Rebates and Tax Credits
It’s simple. A more energy efficient home means a lower MyHomeEQ and bill. That also means a cozier home with better efficiency.
What We Do 
Calculate your Energy Quotient. This allows us to tell you where you stand and how you compare to other people in your hometown and in homes like yours.
Recommend improvements. With information about your home and experience with homes like it, we can present and explain the energy efficiency improvements that are tailored for you.
Connect you with contractors. Choosing and contacting a contractor is difficult, so select from our list of trusted contractors and automatically request a quote.
Link you with financial incentives. Even with a very strong payback, home improvements are a major expense and finding applicable financial incentives can be difficult. We've collected information that helps.
What Are the Results
A more comfortable home. This is typically noticed immediately, as cool, drafty spots in your home become warmer and you stop compensating by overheating the rest of the house.
Lower utility bills. Home improvements can be expensive, but many are quickly paid for by savings in your utility bills that you'll see every month.
Improve the market value of your home. We're working with realtors to turn the evolution to value efficiency improvements into a revolution. As your Energy Quotient goes down, the value of your home will go up.
