For a limited time, the Kansas City, Kan., Board of Public Utilities is again offering residential customers access to low-cost home energy audits, helping them improve the efficiency of their home while reducing overall energy costs. This is just one more way BPU is working to provide value to its customers while minimizing the impact on our environment.
Under the Energy Audit Program, BPU will arrange for a certified auditor to conduct an energy audit on a customer’s home, helping identify ways to improve energy efficiency, cut costs, and benefit the environment. While other energy audits can cost up to $500.00, BPU makes this service available to residential customers for only a $50 fee. And if a customer makes the recommended improvements to their home within 90 days, BPU will refund the $50 fee – so the homeowner ends up paying nothing.
On-site energy audits include: a blower test to identify costly air leakages; a Combustible Appliance Zone test; up to 10 free compact fluorescent bulbs; recommendations for energy efficiency improvements, and; development of an Energy Conservation Plan. Home Energy Audits are available only to homeowners who have at least 12 months of electric usage with BPU. The $50 appointment fee will be refunded when customers provide a Certificate of Project Completion.
BPU has created a video that walks viewers through the steps involved in an energy audit. It also emphasizes the cost-saving benefits that help customers discover ways of protecting their investment. To see the video, go to BPU’s YouTube page at www.youtube.com/user/kckbpu.
