Our new Energy Efficiency Advisory Service is designed to provide you with expert, comprehensive guidance on implementing energy-saving home improvements that help make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.

Before we introduce this new service to Clearwater’s broader membership, we’re inviting a select group of members to apply to participate in the initial pilot and provide feedback about their experience.

What's Included

A comprehensive approach to and expert guidance in making your home more efficient and comfortable year-round. By participating, you’ll benefit from:

  • Free Home Energy Assessment conducted by a licensed and certified inspector.
  • Personalized Improvement Plan prioritizing upgrades for your comfort and efficiency.
  • Trusted Contractor Referrals to help you find local, reputable professionals.
  • Advice on Rebates and Incentives to help you maximize your savings.
  • Recommended Loan Options to help you fund your energy efficiency improvements.
  • Access to a Clearwater Advisor who will be your advocate every step of the way.

How it Works

Free Energy Assessment

We begin with a complimentary home energy assessment by a licensed and certified inspector. This professional will help pinpoint energy inefficiencies in your home, such as insulation gaps, air leaks, outdated or underperforming heating and cooling systems, and energy hungry appliances.

Personalized Improvement Plan

Based on your personalized assessment, we’ll help you:

  • Prioritize the recommended improvements to maximize your year-round comfort and your home’s energy efficiency.
  • Understand the benefits of each upgrade in reducing energy waste.
  • Plan a budget-conscious approach to making your home energy improvements.

Licensed, Reputable Professionals

Unfortunately, energy efficiency scams are becoming increasingly common. Fraudsters pose as energy providers or utility representatives offering free energy audits, home improvement services, or solar panels to gain access to your home.

With our Energy Efficiency Advisory service, we’ll connect you with licensed, reputable contractors who specialize in energy-efficiency home upgrades so you can feel comfortable that you’re dealing with reputable professionals.

Rebates and Incentives

Navigating the maze of federal, state, and local energy efficiency incentives can be very confusing. We’ll help you identify available tax credits, rebates, and grants and guide you through the application process to help maximize your energy efficiency savings.

Financing Options

If you decide to move forward with some or all of the recommended improvements, we’ll help you explore affordable financing options, through our Clean Energy Banking program.
