Our certified energy auditor will visit your facility, inspect your building envelope and installed natural gas equipment, examine how it is operated and identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency. You’ll receive a detailed report with specific recommendations to help you develop a plan for energy-saving improvements. |
Low cost, high value
We offer several levels of analyses to meet the unique needs of your business – smaller organizations can take advantage of our new Basic Analysis, specially sized for their business; mid-size companies will receive our Comprehensive Analysis ,with a more thorough review and detailed technical report. We also now offer our Custom Analysis for larger operations that require a more specialized in-depth approach.
Whichever analysis you choose, you’ll gain immediate benefits by making simple recommended operating adjustments, or reap long-term benefits by making more substantial changes. Some energy-saving recommendations may also qualify for a CenterPoint Energy rebate to help reduce your initial equipment costs and provide a faster payback on your energy investment.

Note: The analysis does not include electric consumption, except as related to natural gas equipment, so is not to be considered a comprehensive energy audit.
In addition, separate ad-hoc services such as infrared scans, steam trap surveys or other specialized diagnostic tests are available upon customer request. These are bid separately for the customer for an additional cost. Any size facility can request additional ad-hoc services as part of their Natural Gas Energy Analysis.
