Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a QHEC or a Comprehensive Energy Audit?
The Comprehensive Energy Audit now includes the same direct install measures as the QHEC.  There is no substitute for the thoroughness and instrumented testing done in a Comprehensive Energy Audit, and for anyone looking to make a change the Comprehensive Energy Audit should be your first choice.  For people who are feeling budget constrained, or who feel they will not be making any improvements over the next year or two, the QHEC is a good way to get started on saving energy and to get educated on Pepco's other programs.

Can I get both?
If you have had a QHEC, you definitely can get a Comprehensive Energy Audit so you become eligible for 50% rebates up to $2,000 per household.   Since Energy Audits now include direct installs, if you have had an Energy Audit, you are not allowed to obtain a QHEC later.  If your Energy Audit is from 2011 or earlier, you can receive the no cost direct install measures from your Home Performance Contractor when you make your energy efficiency improvements.  Just tell your contractor when you sign your contract that you need those items installed.

Can ecobeco install measures for me during my Test-Out?
No, ecobeco is not allowed to install measures during your Test-Out.  Your Home Performance Contractor should install measures while they are making your home energy efficiency improvements.

ecobeco does not provide QHECs for single-family homes in the BG&E territory. To schedule a QHEC, call the BGE Smart Energy Savers Program office at 877 685-7377.
