Green Home Ownership for SE Wisconsin

The first step towards cutting both carbon emissions and energy bills at home is to determine where the home could most benefit from upgrades.

“Should we focus on solar panels (renewable energy), new windows, an energy-efficient water heater, insulation or making our home less drafty?” That is what home energy assessments are all about.

More and more people want to live in energy-efficient homes, with a clear roadmap for becoming even more energy-efficient. And don’t forget the added bonus of reducing energy costs!
