Small Business Virtual Pre-Assessment Overview
A virtual pre-assessment for the Small Business Energy Advantage program allows a technician to interact with you remotely via phone or video service to recommend energy-saving opportunities.
A Safe, Convenient First Step Toward Energy-Saving Improvements
During the virtual pre-assessment, your contractor will identify energy-saving opportunities in your business and then prepare a potential list of energy saving opportunities which includes simple, self-installation measures such as LED light bulbs to replace old incandescent, or faucet aerators to help save money on your water heating cost.
The contractor will work with your utility to have the identified self-install measures shipped to your business for you to start saving energy and money right away. See the complete list of areas assessed with the Small Business Energy Advantage program below. Your contractor will schedule a follow-up, in-person visit for a future date to further identify deeper savings opportunities to be installed.
