In an effort to promote energy efficiency and cost savings, Eden Prairie homeowners are being offered a substantial discount on Home Energy Squad visits for the upcoming month of May. According to an announcement from the city's official website, the energy consultation service, typically priced at $100, is now available at a reduced rate of $50 if booked during May, utilizing the promotional code "SPRING50" at HomeEnergySquadMN.com.
The service aims to assist residents in reducing their energy consumption and, in turn, their utility bills. Homeowners must be Xcel Energy or CenterPoint Energy customers to qualify for the discount. The subsidized visits not only promise to help save some green but also to contribute to a greener environment by increasing home energy efficiency—a move that can be equally beneficial to wallets and the planet.
During a visit, which lasts about two and a half hours, a team from the Home Energy Squad installs a variety of energy-saving materials and carries out diagnostic tests. These materials include a programmable thermostat, weather-stripping, LED light bulbs, and high-efficiency water fixtures, all installed at no additional cost. The squad's services extend to performing a blower door test, using an infrared camera for inspections, conducting a combustion safety test on heating systems and water heaters, and checking insulation levels.
If further upgrades are needed, such as insulation or air-sealing, homeowners receive an on-the-spot cost estimate with an option to schedule the necessary work through a contractor that day. This measure strives to not only provide convenience but also to encourage immediate action for those eager to improve their home's energy profile. By offering such a steep discount, Eden Prairie officials are committed to incentivizing residents to prioritize energy efficiency in their households.
Those interested in taking advantage of the discounted Home Energy Squad visits can schedule an appointment by visiting HomeEnergySquadMN.com and must remember to use the code "SPRING50" for the discount. The city's website emphasizes that the value of the service exceeds $600, suggesting that this promotion serves as a valuable opportunity for Eden Prairie homeowners to start making significant energy savings now.
