Eversource is reminding customers this is the perfect time to schedule a Home Energy Solutions (HES) assessment to begin increasing energy efficiency immediately, before temperatures outside dramatically change and there may be a scheduling wait. Although winter is behind us and the scorching days of summer are still a little ways off, saving energy and controlling home energy costs are important year round. “With summer right around the corner, now is the time to schedule an HES assessment to help control your home energy costs,” said Enoch Lenge, Eversource’s energy efficiency spokesman. “This checkup determines where your house is losing energy and if your heating and cooling systems are operating efficiently.  It’s an easy and affordable way to stop losing heat in the winter and cool air in the summer.”
