The Re-energize Reston Community Challenge kicked off earlier this year with a community goal of 1,964 Home Energy Check-ups to honor Reston’s founding in 1964. Organized by the Reston Association and Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), the effort will help Reston residents improve the comfort, health, and performance of their homes.

LEAP will be in the Generation clusters April 11-18 doing Home Energy Check Ups for $45.  Schedule at http://leap-va.org/checkup/.

(Select location: NOVA — Reston — Generation Clusters and a time and day that works for you. If that week doesn’t work but you’re interested, click on the waiting list and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.)

In this check-up, you will get an evaluation of your home’s energy efficiency by a professional LEAP energy coach. Where needed, our energy coach will install energy efficient light bulbs, smart power strips, and more. The check-up generally lasts 60 – 90 minutes. LEAP will get you started on immediate energy saving measures for your home, as well as a road map towards an ENERGY STAR home. The value of this package is estimated at well over $250 in goods, savings, and professional advice. The low price of $45 is made possible with the support of the Dominion Residential Home Energy Check-Up program.  A $10 donation will be made to Friends of Reston for every check up done in the Challenge.  In order for the energy coach to understand your energy usage, the homeowner will need to provide a copy of the latest electric and gas bills.
