How It Works

Our Five-Step Home Audit Process

Here's what to expect when you schedule an EcoPower Solutions home energy & safety audit.

1

Schedule & Confirm

Reach out by phone or email and we'll confirm a time that works for your household.

2

In-Home Assessment

We arrive with testing equipment, inspect your home, and document our findings.

3

Findings & Options

We review what we found, what it means, and which fixes deliver the most benefit.

4

Rebates & Programs

We match your recommended work to BGE/EmPOWER rebates, CEA financing, and any other programs you may qualify for.

5

You Choose Next Steps

You decide how to proceed. We can perform eligible work and support you through funding and follow-up.

What We Check

Key Areas We Look At During Your Audit

We combine diagnostic testing with building science to uncover issues you can't always see — but definitely feel on your bills and in your home.

Safety & Combustion

Gas sniffers, ambient CO checks, and combustion testing for furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.

  • CO monitoring and venting checks
  • Appliance backdraft and exhaust verification

Leaks & Drafts

Air, water, and gas leaks in attics, basements, crawlspaces, and around doors and windows.

  • Blower door testing (where applicable)
  • Moisture and leak risk areas

Insulation & Attic

Insulation levels, attic conditions, and ventilation that affect comfort and mold risk.

  • Attic and knee wall insulation
  • Air sealing opportunities

HVAC & Ventilation

Heaters, AC units, thermostats, bath fans, and exhaust systems that move air through your home.

  • Equipment condition and basic performance
  • Exhaust and ventilation checks

Electrical & Piping

Visible wiring, panels, and piping issues that may indicate safety or moisture problems.

  • Noting visible electrical red flags
  • Checking for rust, corrosion, and leaks

Appliances & Programs

Major appliances and equipment that may qualify for swap programs or efficiency incentives.

  • Appliance efficiency and age review
  • Identifying potential rebate-covered upgrades

Note: EcoPower audits are assessment-only. We do not perform on-the-spot repairs during the audit visit. Our job is to test, document, and guide your next steps.

Hidden Risks

Problems We Aim to Catch Early

Our audits are designed to find issues before they turn into costly emergencies or safety hazards.

CO & Combustion Hazards

Poor venting, cracked heat exchangers, backdrafting, and other issues that can put your household at risk.

Ignored: emergency calls, health risks, property damage

Moisture & Water Issues

Leaks, condensation, and humidity problems that can lead to mold, rot, and structural damage over time.

Ignored: mold cleanup, drywall & flooring replacement

Drafts & Energy Waste

Gaps, air leaks, and insulation failures that make your systems work harder and cost you more every month.

Ignored: higher bills, shorter equipment life
Rebates & Programs

Turn Audit Results Into Funded Upgrades

After your audit, we help connect the findings to available BGE/EmPOWER rebates and 0% CEA financing options, where eligible.

From audit to approved work

After your EcoPower audit, results go into the appropriate utility and program platforms. Based on modeled savings, work scope, and program rules, Maryland homeowners may qualify for BGE/EmPOWER rebates for improvements like:

  • Insulation and air sealing
  • HVAC replacement or improvements
  • Bath fan and ventilation upgrades
  • Qualified appliance swaps

0% CEA loans and help with the rest

For qualifying BGE customers, Clean Energy Advantage (CEA) loans currently offer 0% interest for up to 24 months on eligible energy upgrades, with low interest thereafter (subject to approval and program rules).

With MEA grants currently maxed out through 2026, CEA loans and utility rebates are the main tools homeowners can use right now to move projects forward.

EcoPower can help you understand how CEA loans and rebates might apply to your recommended work and what your out-of-pocket contribution may look like.

Program terms, availability, and eligibility can change over time. Final decisions are made by the lender and program administrators, not EcoPower Solutions.
