Energy use assessments

Let WH help you lower your home's electric use with an energy use assessment, which in turn helps lower your monthly bill!

How it works:

1. Contact WH to schedule an appointment. WH's Energy Use Consultants (EUCs) will find a time to come to your home and complete their walkthrough. Mention this webpage, and the assessment is only $34.99, a savings of $15!
    
2. An EUC will complete their evaluation. WH's team will focus on load sources and discuss their findings, then offer recommendations on lowering your electric usage. These appointments are not an energy audit, and do not include a blower door test. Instead, appointments focus on identifying devices that use high amounts of electric that could affect your electric consumption.
3. Review action items. Suggestions will be customized to your home, and we'll leave behind brochures and information to help you further improve your home's energy use. Implement any changes and improvements you want to make!

Commercial Energy Evaluations

Wright-Hennepin commercial account representatives can provide commercial & industrial (C&I) members with a free, basic walk-through energy evaluation. These evaluations can provide information on your business’ electric use. As a part of this evaluation, specific energy-saving improvements can then be recommended.

Commercial Energy Audits

Many companies decide to complete an in-depth, comprehensive audit conducted by a certified energy auditor. A comprehensive audit provides a full report of how each electric load is affecting total energy consumption. Based on these findings, the audit provides recommendations as to what areas would benefit most (in terms of reducing energy use) by the installation of more energy-efficient technologies (lighting, motors, HVAC, etc). Another potential outcome of a comprehensive energy audit is to determine if the business could significantly reduce energy costs by implementing minor changes in operational hours or equipment functions.

Comprehensive energy audits are eligible for Wright-Hennepin's cost-sharing program, in which Wright-Hennepin will contribute up to 50% of the cost for a certified energy audit. To qualify for cost-sharing funding, all audits must be pre-approved. Please contact a commercial account representative for complete program details.
