PORTLAND ENERGY ASSESSORS
Quick, professional home energy scores
Portland Energy Assessors is a locally owned business. We focus solely on Home Energy Scores; our priority is providing an H.E.S. to the customer in a timely manner with as little intrusion as possible. We understand the distinct needs of realtors, property sellers, and homeowners in this process, and pride ourselves on providing this service as conveniently as possible.
All homes in Portland Metro, Milwaukee and Hillsboro cities listed after January 1, 2018, will need to be scored by a Certified Energy Assessor. While the ordinance does not require any upgrades or improvements, the scores must be made public during the sale; failure to comply results in a fine. A “Home Energy Score” will deliver insight into how efficiently a property uses and conserves energy, and what homeowners can expect to pay in utilities. An H.E.S. report also provides upgrade suggestions to improve the score in order to save money, help the environment and make the home more comfortable. Buyers are able to use this information to compare the homes they are considering for purchase. Being informed that your house needs an energy assessment prior to selling is generally not celebratory news for sellers or their realtors. Portland Energy Assessors is here to make the process quick and painless!
