Save Money

Energy Audits

You can have a TVA-certified evaluator audit your home.  Read about the details and how you can be reimbursed up to $500 for eligible improvements by visiting us at the In-Home Energy Evaluation Program site.  Call 866-441-1430 to arrange an audit of your home.

We offer two Do-it-yourself Energy Audits:

You can complete the Home e-Valuation to see what’s driving energy costs in your home and how you can save money.  You can use the calculators to see how much energy is used by a specific appliance and research with the Energy Library.

You can request a self survey be sent directly to you in the mail.  After completing and returning the survey, you will receive a customized report of your energy use and suggestions for potential savings.
