What an energy advisor does in Richmond
A registered energy advisor visits your home and runs an EnerGuide evaluation. They check your insulation and windows, test how much air leaks out with a blower door, and look at your heating and hot water. You get a report with a rating and a list of upgrades in order of value.
If your rebate program needs an evaluation, book the advisor first. Some programs pay only if an advisor sees the home before any work starts, and again after it is done; hire a contractor first and you can lose the rebate.
In BC, income-qualified BC Hydro and FortisBC customers can get a free home energy evaluation and free upgrades through the Energy Conservation Assistance Program. Everyone else pays the advisor directly, so ask for the price up front.

- Ask whether their evaluation counts for the rebate program you plan to use, and how soon they can book the first visit.
- Ask what the visit costs, what the report includes, and whether the follow-up visit after your upgrades costs extra.
