Common questions

About the home energy checkup

Can I use the checkup if I rent my home?

Yes. The checkup can help renters find no-cost and reversible steps, such as adjusting settings or addressing small drafts. Ask your landlord before making permanent changes or modifying equipment.

How are costs and recommendations calculated?

The report uses the bills and home details you enter. When bill dates are provided, it allocates each bill across seasons by service days. Recommendations are based on your reported answers; the checkup does not use regional averages or promise dollar savings. Any simple payback estimate uses the project cost and annual savings you enter. This is a DIY starting point, not a professional diagnostic audit, and the detail score measures information coverage rather than audit accuracy.

Is my checkup information private?

Your answers are saved in this browser as you work. If you save a private resume link, a copy is stored in the application database. We do not sell checkup answers or use them to build advertising profiles. Anyone with your complete private link can access that saved checkup. Read the Privacy Policy for storage and deletion details.

What if I’m not sure about an answer?

Skip it or choose “Not sure” where available. You can still get a useful starter report, then change answers from the report when you know more. Your browser saves your progress on that device.
