Quick Home Energy Check-up

Get personalized insights about your home energy usage. BGE offers this for free.

A Quick Home Energy Check-up is a fast, easy way to learn about your home’s energy efficiency. You can start saving energy and, because you’re a BGE customer, it’s at no additional cost.

How It Works

1. Schedule a walk-through of your home. When you schedule a Check-up, a BGE authorized contractor will come to your home and perform a walk-through (that takes about an hour) to review the condition of the following items:

Insulation levels
Air leakage
Heating and cooling systems
Windows and doors
Lighting and appliances
Water-heating equipment

2. Get energy-saving products installed. The authorized contractor may install energy-saving products that can include the following items, at no additional cost:

LED light bulbs
Smart thermostats*
Faucet aerators
Efficient-flow showerheads
Water heater pipe insulation
ShowerStart® showerhead adapter
Door sweeps
Foam tape weatherstripping

3. Receive your personalized report. After the Check-up is completed, you’ll receive a report that includes custom recommendations to help you reduce your energy use and save money.

Only the contractors on this list are authorized to perform Quick Home Energy Check-ups on behalf of BGE.

Customers are eligible for a Quick Home Energy Check-up at the same address once every 5 years. If you have moved to a new address, you are also eligible for another Quick Home Energy Check-up.
