Learn More About Home Performance Assessment

Here is information you may find useful before choosing a certified contractor to do a Home Performance assessment.

1. Visit Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors for a complete list of qualified home improvement contractors.
2. Georgia Power customers will then be pre-screened for the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program by discussing their home concerns with a contractor.
3. After the pre-screening process is complete, the approved contractor determines if a Home Performance assessment is the next step.

Once It's Determined a Home Performance Assessment Is Right for the Customer:

• The customer and contractor agree to the initial Home Performance assessment and all contractor fees. Necessary appointments are set.

• The contractor meets the customer at their home to perform the Home Performance assessment, which covers:.
• A visual walkthrough of the home's interior (all rooms and interior spaces including the basement, crawlspace and/or attic), as well as the home’s perimeter, looking for areas of concern.
• A diagnostic analysis will identify whole-house infiltration concerns and duct leakage.
• A list of necessary improvements will be provided to the homeowner (listed in order from most cost-effective to least). This list may be compiled on-site or mailed to the customer at a later date.

• Once assessment is complete, the customer is responsible for paying the contractor the total cost of The Home Performance assessment. The cost of the comprehensive home assessment varies between contractors. Please ask your contractor about the comprehensive home assessment fee.
