Home Energy Assessment

I don't recall the O.P. but someone posted about your utility company offering free home energy assessments. Whoever you are I owe you a big thank you.
CLECO just sent their subcontractor out (after a 3 month wait) and we are astonished at the thoroughness, speed, and surgical approach these guys took.
Luckily we didn't have anything but a few minor touch ups for them to do. Our home is tight as can be on the energy efficiency front.
They will check everything and take care of repairs they can at no charge to the customer.
The guy showed me pictures of a few recent homes they were at and the repairs they found and took care of.
I highly recommend everyone contacting their utility company to schedule a weatherization assessment.
This board has been very helpful for me.

They did a very thorough job at my house. Replaced all inefficient bulbs with LED bulbs and found the trim on the inside of a closet, at the header, that was never installed. This closet is right next to the return air, so since 1996, the return air has been pulling attic air from that closet. I could not believe it and ashamed I never noticed the missing trim inside the closet. Other than that my home was well within the ideal range for efficiency.

Wonder if Entergy offers such a thing.

How did you set-up the assessment? Is this something you were able to do through your online account, had to call the utility company to scehdule?

Is this just CLECO that does this?
Edit: They do.
Edit Edit: Looks like you have to be below the poverty level to qualify for this.

I have CLECO, what are the steps for this?

Nice, that was me inquiring about it a few months ago - glad it worked out for you! We have entergy and I haven't gotten around to signing up for it yet. Looks like I need to bump that up on the priority list.

Anybody know if demco offers this too?

Bumping this - I signed up because of this thread. About 2 weeks later I got a call from the scheduler and the guys came out last week. 3 dudes spent ~6 hours at my house sealing up all kinds of areas - plumbing, under cabinets, re-sealed doors, and spent multiple hours in the attic sealing up my HVAC. 20 year home so there were quite a few inefficiencies. They also replaced a dozen light bulbs and left me with a pack of 24 to keep. They ran a before test with total airflow cubic foot loss and then an after test once they finished sealing everything up.
I was quite impressed how thorough they were in the whole process and even more shocked that something like this was actually no cost. Highly recommend it
There is no income qualification through CLECO's program
