We spend so much time in our homes but know so little about them.
You can probably name the dates of the revolutionary war or rattle off the quadratic formula, but when it comes to what’s going on in your home... you’re kind of in the dark.
You know who you have to call when things go wrong and how to kill spiders, but no one has ever taught you the inner workings of how your home uses energy.
And now you are:
Hi, Iā€™m Spencer, the founder of Home Energy Academy. In 2005 I decided I wanted to do something that helped the environment, but I didnā€™t know where to begin.
So, I crawled around attics and climbed over roofs uncovering secrets that were screwing up the way homes use energy. I saw how so many homes were built thoughtlessly and realized there must be a better way.
So I dove in completing over 1,000 home energy assessments, over 100 whole-home energy projects, and getting over 10 home energy certifications. And through that journey, I discovered a step-by-step processĀ that homeowners can follow to ensure their home energy upgrades are done right the first time.
Now, I provide the leading online education program on whole-home energy projects, so you can make the change thatā€™ll reduce your energy bills, improve your homeā€™s comfort and achieve true energy independence.
Here's how:
Step 1
Purchase Your Course
Before you make any changes, you’re going back to school. But instead of those uncomfortable desks and boring textbooks, enjoy learning at your own pace and from the soon to be eliminated discomfort (sorry, I couldn’t resist) of your own home. With engaging animations and a passionate teacher, time will fly by as you have energy aha-moment after aha-moment that will have you become a true Home Energy Insider.
Step 2
Make the Change
Now that you know, it’s time to go. Equipped with the science-backed information (proud nerd over here!) and a solid plan from the Home Energy Course, you’re now ready to complete your upgrade.
You’ll have a clear view of what makes sense for your home and the tools to hold your installers to account to ensure the work is done right the first time.
Step 3
Enjoy the Transformation
Set your house at that perfect 72 degrees with total peace of mind because you no longer have to sacrifice your comfort to save money. When your house is optimized for energy-efficiency and you can kick your feet up and relish in the fact that you made the very smart decision to transform your home. And now, you are saving money, living comfortably and have achieved energy independence.
Did I mention that you also, in the process, kinda save the planet!
You and your home.
Finally happy together.
