Frankly speaking....these are exceptional deals from SRP and APS and provide opportunities for homeowners to really improve the energy efficiency of their home.
Nearly all roads, relating to the Energy Star energy audit/tuneup, lead to savings. Starting with the $99 audit/tuneup-home inspection, a homeowner saves 67% on that appointment cost alone (normally $299 full value). If upgrades, repairs or retrofit work needs to be done, there are a variety of rebates available from SRP and APS. Finally, there are potential tax advantages as well for any post-inspection work. When all those are done being considered, you have improved a home that costs less on a monthly/annual basis due to lower utility bills. Chances are it's win, win, win all around.
This is a great time of year to get the process going. While you may not be seeing the highest summer utility bills, the moderate temperatures make repairs or construction less intrusive in terms of summer heat not entering the home during the actual work. Additionally, having any repairs or retrofits done now, ensures your home is good to go when the high temps return next year. No rushing to beat the heat...it's all done.
Details of the programs can be found via APS and SRP. A complete list of approved home energy inspectors and contractors can be found here on the Arizona Home Performance website (simply start with either the APS or SRP logo/link).
