Around the New Year’s holiday, many of us do a full assessment of our health, fitness, finances and relationships. This often results in a fresh approach to life, work mentality and motivation. In 2024, Boggs Inspection Services will be adding home energy assessments. Beyond just inspecting a property’s features and fixtures, this extra step looks at how your home uses energy and where you can save on both cost and overall carbon emissions.
Boggs Inspection Services Adds Home Energy Assessments to the New Year’s Checklist
Nationwide Insurance explains that a standard home inspection typically looks at a property’s overall condition as well as “the structural aspects of the home, heating and cooling systems, plumbing, electrical work, water and sewage to ensure they are all functioning properly.”
An Energy Raven assessment is different. They look at today’s annual energy costs for the home then create a breakdown of usage by system and provide ways to save. They suggest systems or appliances which could be improved, options to boost health and comfort, and even links to tax credits and rebates.
Many homeowners wrestle with questions like gas versus electricity, whether or not to install solar panels, and which infrastructure investments are worth it in the long haul. Energy Raven worked with scientists, data analysts and home energy experts to create an algorithm for today and whatever tomorrow may bring.
Knowledge is Power when Buying or Selling a Home
Boggs manager George Green says that partnering with Energy Raven was a perfect fit. “We pride ourselves in providing the most complete information we can for our clients to make an honest and informative decision regarding their purchase,” he explains.
“In addition, we feel that in these current times, we can offer another service to ease our client’s minds regarding out-of-pocket costs in the future,” Green continues. “Knowing a new home’s current energy cost requirements can show them potential savings they can make by improving efficiency. Simple changes like adding insulation or future investments like upgrading appliances or adding solar energy to the system. We believe that the more educated our clients can be during the home-buying process, the more they can feel confident they’re making the right decisions.”
