2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy is expanding its
existing in-home assessment program and providing new virtual,

Call program. Through education and awareness of energy use,
our energy specialists help customers find ways to save energy and
money by being more efficient. Customers receive a free energy
efficiency kit, a customized usage report, low-cost tips and expert
recommendations to help them see energy savings.
Newly eligible customers include renters of single-family homes
and owners/renters of condos, townhomes and manufactured homes.
"We are excited to enhance accessibility of our Home Energy
House Call program to reach more customers across North Carolina," said Kendal Bowman, president of Duke Energy North

assessment over the phone and answer any questions you may

of their appliances and heating/cooling systems. The self-guided
online assessment generates customized savings recommendations
based on customer responses.
Based on the information collected, Duke Energy's experts will
give customers a customized report detailing steps they can take to
increase efficiency and lower their energy bill.
