TVA EnergyRight ®  Solutions Energy Audits

There’s no place like home, and there’s no time like now to make your home more energy efficient. As a KUB residential customer, you have two energy audit options through the TVA EnergyRight ® Solutions Program. Both of these options can help you find ways to reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills:

• A free online audit . To receive more accurate results from the online home energy audit, we recommend you first retrieve your energy consumption history . [Note: You may complete the audit without your specific consumption history.]

• A $150  In-Home Energy Evaluation Program  audit [for KUB residential customers only]   by a Certified TVA Energy Advisor. The $150 fee is refunded if you make at least $150 in qualifying improvements - and you can get up to $500 back on the cost of qualifying improvements.

For an In-Home Energy Evaluation , call the TVA EnergyRight Solutions Program toll-free number: 1-866-441-1430. After you answer a few qualifying questions from a call center representative, you can set up an appointment with a TVA Certified Energy Advisor for an evaluation. [Advisors offer convenient evening and Saturday appointment hours.] 

Remember: In-home evaluations are scheduled in advance at the request of a homeowner and performed by TVA-certified evaluators. Report anyone who comes to your home uninvited claiming to represent TVA or the local power company to local authorities immediately.

The advisor will collect a $150 fee at the time of the in-home audit. You will receive a detailed report with recommended improvements after the audit. Improvements must be made by a member of TVA's qualified contractor network .

 Homeowners may also be eligible for tax credits  of up to $1,500 for energy efficient improvements.

 The program received positive reports from the Knoxville News Sentinel  and MetroPulse  covered an actual energy audit and its home improvement recommendations.
