Our Advantage
At Engenuity Energy, our advantage lies in the way we look at your home as a complete system—not just a collection of parts. We combine advanced testing, proven building science, and tailored solutions to uncover hidden inefficiencies and deliver real, measurable improvements in comfort, air quality, and energy use.
Reduce Before You Produce.
We approach Solar differently
Our advantage is especially advantageous as it relates to solar. We firmly believe in our slogan “Reduce before you produce”. Most solar companies size systems based only on your current energy consumption. That means if your home is leaking air, wasting conditioned energy, or running inefficiently, you’ll end up needing a larger, more expensive solar array to cover that waste. At Engenuity Energy, we take a different approach. By performing thorough home energy testing before designing your solar system, we identify and eliminate inefficiencies first—tightening up your home, balancing airflow, and optimizing performance. This ensures that when solar is added, your system is correctly sized for your TRUE energy needs, not the waste. The result for you is a smarter investment, lower overall solar cost, greater comfort, and long-term savings.
Our process not only maximizes the return on your solar solar system but also improves your comfort and the health of your home, giving you an advantage that most homeowners never get when working with a traditional solar company.
FAQ
-
No, it’s not mandatory to test your home before going solar, but it’s one of the smartest steps you can take. A home energy test helps uncover hidden inefficiencies so your solar system can be sized accurately, saving you money and maximizing performance. By addressing energy leaks first, you ensure your solar investment works at it’s highest potential.
-
Yes, even new homes can benefit from testing. While modern builds often meet code requirements, hidden air leaks, insulation gaps, or ventilation issues are still common. Testing ensures your new home performs as efficiently and comfortably as it was designed to, giving you peace of mind and potential savings from day one.
-
No, you don’t have to install solar panels to use batteries in your home. If your goal is a backup power during outages, we can size your battery system to provide reliable run times without solar. However, paring batteries with solar panels is best if you plan to use them daily, since it allows you to recharge with free, renewable energy.
-
To be frank, most solar companies focus only on selling panels, so they skip home performance testing since it doesn’t directly increase their profits. At Engenuity Energy, we take a different approach—testing first helps lower your overall energy use, which means your solar system can be smaller, more efficient, and better tailored to your home. This holistic process ensures you get the best long-term value and comfort, not just more panels on your roof.
