Which program do I qualify for?
 
1. Viridiant’s Walk-Through Audit with Utility Rebate options include a visual inspection that covers the whole house, from basements and crawlspaces to utility rooms and attics. Clients will receive a custom report listing and prioritizing recommendations – from zero- and low-cost quick fixes to planning for major upgrades. We offer a low-cost 2-page report that we deliver on site – or a much longer (avg 9 pages) detailed report emailed later as an upgrade option. While in your home, Viridiant staff will install products paid for by the RHEA rebate. Either way, you get a lot of no-pressure, professional expertise plus products installed that will save you money right away. The additional diagnostic services are available for these two options.
  • The utility rebate is Dominion Energy’s “Residential Home Energy Assessment” (RHEA), which is available to single-family detached and attached homes (townhomes, rowhomes, duplexes) with Dominion electric service that have not previously had this rebate or its predecessor, the “Home Energy Checkup” (HEC), and have not received Dominion's Home Energy Kit. Owners and renters qualify. We will require your Dominion account number and the signature of the account holder to complete the rebate application. If you would like to confirm your eligibility, call Andrew Grigsby at 804-252-1486 or send your street address and the Dominion account holder’s last name to energy@viridiant.org.
 
2. The Walk-Through Audit without Utility Rebate option is for a home that either doesn’t qualify for this rebate (not a Dominion customer, residence already had the HEC or RHEA rebate, or don’t qualify as single family housing such as an apartment or condo) – or the home isn’t a good candidate for the rebate because it has a gas water heater and/or already has mostly LED lighting. This service includes the utility bill analysis and Viridiant’s longer energy audit report as described above. The additional diagnostic services are available as well. In short, you get everything but the products that come with the Dominion RHEA.

As required by Virginia law, all of Viridiant’s home energy assessments are performed by staff who carry the Residential Building Energy Analyst license. This ensures a whole-home, multi-technology approach rather than the perspective of a tradesperson trained only in one aspect of building performance.

Additional Diagnostic Services

By clicking below, I agree to pay the selected additional service fees. Payment info will be collected on the next page.
Infrared Scans - The audit-grade camera shows weak spots in your home’s “thermal envelope” to locate insulation or air-sealing defects.
Blower Door Test - This test utilizes a calibrated fan to measure how drafty your home is and to target problem areas.
Duct Leakage Test (first system serving up to 1500 square feet) - A calibrated fan measures the amount of heated/cooled air you pay for but doesn’t reach the registers. A blower door test is also required for this service.
Duct Leakage Test (second system) - If the home has more than one unique duct system, we would test that separately if desired.
Duct Leakage Test (third system) - If the home has more than one unique duct system, we would test that separately if desired.

All homes over 1999 square feet of conditioned space will be assessed a larger home fee as follows:
