Services for homeowners

 

EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) Evaluations

 

An EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) Evaluation is the first step in smart renovations. prairieHOUSE is a licensed service organization of NRCan for delivery of ERS Evaluations and works with a team of registered energy advisors.

  • ERS evaluations provide homeowners with a clear picture of their home’s current energy consumption. The evaluation comes with an official EnerGuide rating, information sheet, and label for your home.

  • An EnerGuide home evaluation helps take the guesswork out of upgrades that can lower utility costs, increase comfort, improve durability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

prairieHOUSE diagnoses building performance in homes and prescribes ways to resolve such problems as: 

  • Unexpectedly high energy bills

  • Cold or hot zones in your home

  • Ice damming

  • Condensation, moisture or mold issues
