Duke Energy Makes Energy Assessments More Accessible
Duke Energy is improving how customers manage and lower their energy bills by introducing new options for energy assessments. By offering virtual, phone, and online assessments, the company aims to assist Indiana residents in finding potential savings by enhancing their home's energy efficiency. These free assessments complement Duke Energy's existing in-home evaluations.
Advantages of Home Energy Services
This new program caters to a wide array of customers, making energy assessments more user-friendly than ever. Traditionally, in-home assessments have successfully helped homeowners identify ways to reduce their energy expenses. Now, with the advent of virtual consultations, renters and individuals living in condos, townhomes, and manufactured homes can also take part.
Customized Energy Solutions
Duke Energy experts have created an educational platform where specialists help customers better understand their energy use. The focus of this initiative is on providing actionable and practical recommendations. After the assessment, participants will receive an energy efficiency kit along with a detailed usage report, giving them the tools they need to conserve energy and cut costs.
New Options for Customers
In line with their goal to reach more customers, Duke Energy’s leaders are excited about these expanded service offerings. Customers now have three ways to receive personalized energy assessments: through virtual walk-throughs using their phones, phone assessments, or self-guided online evaluations. This flexibility ensures that everyone can access insights tailored to their living situations.
During both virtual and phone assessments, energy specialists review the overall energy consumption of customers' homes, closely examining appliances and heating/cooling systems. The self-directed online tool provides personalized savings suggestions based on individual home features and usage patterns.
Complimentary Energy Efficiency Kits
In addition to a thorough assessment report, customers will receive an energy efficiency kit in the mail. This kit features useful tools like bathroom aerators, weatherstripping, insulation for water heaters, and furnace filter whistles—allowing homeowners to put energy-saving strategies into action right away.
