Today I’m here with Stephen Bay of Eco Consulting. Eco Consulting is an energy assessment company, and Stephen ensures that homes are energy efficient and educates people on ways to make their homes energy efficient. They don’t sell any products, and there is zero cost for using their services. All of their revenue comes out of the utility companies. Stephen is here to help you save money on your utility bill!

Eco Consulting has been popular because they can come into your home and install free light bulbs because they use utility rebates to cover the cost. In fact, they have installed more than 90,000 LED bulbs for free! Their goal is to make residential energy use go down in Seattle. They do not sell any products, although there are a variety of companies that do sell products. However, Eco Consulting should not try to sell you anything, and they have won awards for their services in the Seattle area.

When Stephen comes into your home he will perform a visual inspection and let you know what you qualify for when it comes to utility rebates. You can get up to $1,200 for a new heating system, depending on the type of unit you have.

If utility companies can reduce usage, they no longer need to build more infrastructure to provide power to people. In the long run, this will save the utility companies a lot of money.

An energy audit will usually take anywhere from 45 minutes to a few hours. It depends on the size of the home, and it also depends on whether or not the customer has questions or concerns. Part of Stephen’s goal is to educate his customers about how to become more energy efficient.

There are a lot of different things that you can do yourself if you’d like to improve the overall efficiency of your home. Stephen finds a lot of good tips here. We also encourage you to reach out to Stephen if you have questions.

Please spread the word about this service, because Eco Consulting doesn’t spend any money on marketing or advertising. They are also looking for Energy Ambassadors to help spread the word. If you educate ten people and they sign up for their free services, you can get a free lantern from LuminAID, and you will be also be entered to win eco-friendly upgrades for your home.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!
