5. How The Energy Consultation Works NEASI There are three steps to the Home Energy Consultation. BPI • You decide which inspection they want: NEASI or BPI. 2) The Certified Home Energy Consultant performs the energy inspection. • 3) The Home Energy Consultant then provides the homeowner with the results of the inspection. • If you have a NEASI inspection, you receive a list of some recommendations you can make to your lighting, water use and heating/cooling to start saving money. • If you have a BPI inspection, you receive several items, including a check-sheet, a report, a to-do list and a product purchase list which you can use to purchase the energy saving materials with a qualified contractor.

6. Do You Guarantee Energy Savings? Everything that we recommend is backed by mathematical/scientific validation that it saves energy. Our Certified Energy Consultants are trained to identify and eliminate wasted energy saving you money. However, because energy use can be impacted by things beyond the control of the Certified Home Energy Consultant, we cannot guarantee any energy savings. For example, if someone leaves the lights on in a room for days, or the compressor in the air conditioner goes bad causing it to run longer and harder than usual, or a new piece of electronics or appliance is brought into your home, your overall energy bill will be seriously impacted at the end of the month. If you make the recommended changes AND do not add energy use, you will see a reduction in your energy use and your energy bill.
