Chilly? Free home energy audits available in Montana

6 hours 35 minutes ago by MTN News

Looking to save money on your utility bill this winter? You may be interested in a free home energy audit by NorthWestern Energy.

As part of NorthWestern Energy's E+ program, a team of energy experts will be working throughout Montana the month of December.

The team has a number of openings for the audits, which provide a detailed report on a home's energy use, weatherization tips and information on energy-efficient practices. In some cases, the experts may, at no charge, install water-heater wraps, low-flow shower heads, low-flow faucet aerators and insulation of hot-water pipes.

The auditors will also inspect natural-gas fueled appliances and perform blower tests to spot areas of air leakage in homes.

The free audits can be scheduled by calling (800) 823-5995 or customers can fill out a form at NorthWesternEnergy.com/audit and a representative will call the customer at their convenience for scheduling.

Residential customers whose space or hot-water heating fuels are delivered by NorthWestern Energy, have not had an E+ audit in the past and whose home is more than five years old are eligible for an on-site energy audit. Other restrictions may apply and funding for the audit program, provided by the Universal System Benefits program, is limited.
