HOME ENERGY SQUAD

Help us reduce our community’s energy use and save money on your utility bills. The City of Mahtomedi is paying ½ the cost for a Home Energy Squad visit. Call 651-328-6220 or learn more and sign up online.

The first step is a free virtual visit with the Home Energy Squad (HES). During a virtual visit, an energy consultant will guide customers on a walk-through assessment of their homes via video chat. They will receive energy-saving tips to start saving energy right away and recommendations for next steps.

If the virtual visit team thinks your home could benefit from an in-home visit they can connect you to the best visit for your needs. There are two types of in-home visits:

             Energy Saver Visit

Intended for houses 2000 and newer, mobile homes, condos and renters.

              A two-person team will come to your home and: 

  • Install energy saving materials such as: LED lightbulbs, door and attic hatch weather stripping, programmable thermostat, and high efficient water fixtures. 
  • Water heater temperature assessment and adjustment
  • Help with next steps

Energy Planner Visit

Recommended for homes built before 2000.

              A two-person team will come to your home and: 

  • Install energy saving materials such as: LED lightbulbs, door and attic hatch weather stripping, programmable thermostat, and high efficient water fixtures. 
  • Perform a blower door test to measure your home for air leaks.
  • Complete an insulation inspection of your attic and walls using an infrared camera.
  • Perform a safety test on your home's heating system and water heater.
  • Help with next steps.

ENERGY ADVISORS

For some you will go right from our virtual visit and be connected to a team of energy advisors. Others will be connected to the advisors after your in-home visit. 

 

If your home has an opportunity for significant savings through larger home improvement projects such as additional insulation, attic air sealing, or replacing old heating equipment, the energy advisors make these larger steps easy by connecting you with a vetted list of qualified contractors, specialized financing and utility rebates.

Have questions after your visit? Contact the energy advisors at 612-244-2484 or energyadvisor@mncee.org.
