RMLD Offering Reading Customers Free Home Energy Assessment Webinar

READING, MA — Reading Municipal Light Department (RMLD) has announced details about a free webinar next month that will give customers information about home energy assessments.

RMLD, which provides power to Reading, Wilmington, North Reading, and Lynnfield Center, will be working with its contractor, Energy New England, to present the webinar titled: "Free Home Energy Assessment: How to Winterize and Optimize Your Home for Savings."

The webinar takes place at 7 p.m. on Jan. 18, and customers can register online.

RMLD reminds its residential customers that it offers a no-cost home energy assessment to households interested in implementing energy efficiency and conservation measures. The Home Energy Assessment program is administered through Energy New England.

During a home energy assessment, a home advisor will do a walk-through of the property and the inside of the home, RMLD said.

The advisor then will input information into its energy-efficiency software and will use a thermo-imaging camera to identify air leaks.

RMLD said the energy advisor will assess and discuss potential energy savings linked to: insulation, appliances, heating/cooling, water heating, efficient lighting, window and door weather-stripping, and window and door replacement.

After participating in an energy assessment, customers will receive a Home Energy Assessment Report, which analyzes their home's energy usage and identifies home improvement projects that can lower energy costs.

Customers also will receive details about RMLD's rebates and incentives.
