Carlsbad residents looking to conserve energy and save money can now receive a free, customized assessment to measure their home’s energy use through the City of Carlsbad’s Home Energy Score Assessment Program.

Homeowners are invited to sign up to make an appointment with a certified home energy score assessor who will visit the home to:

• Evaluate the home’s current energy efficiency
• Identify home improvements that can increase energy efficiency
• Offer energy-saving tips for using lights, electronics and appliances
• Provide recommendations for improving indoor air quality and comfort

How to sign up
Appointments are first come, first served and are available while funding lasts. To get started and secure your place in line for an appointment, fill out the application form.

Each home energy score assessment will take approximately two hours, depending on the size and age of the home. The report is free, and residents are under no obligation to implement the suggestions provided by the assessor. Residents can follow up with the recommendations on their own timeline and with their preferred vendors.
