*For the home and business calculators, you'll get the most from the results
if you gather some information first:
Electric and/or Gas Bills
You'll need to enter your bills for the last year (or a minimum of two months).
If you're managing your Dominion account online, you can view and print your
information. Sign in,
select your account and use the right-hand menu to view past billing and usage.
To start managing your account online, register
first.
Square Footage (of your home or business)
Heating, Cooling and Water Heating
You'll need to describe your heating, cooling and water heating systems. If
you have more than one type of heating system, you'll need to pick one as
the "primary." If you're not sure [for example, if you have gas
heat on the first floor and a heat pump on upper floor(s)], select the main
floor heating system as "primary."
Note: Energy calculators are currently available for Dominion
electric customers only.
A Note About Professional Home Energy Surveys
If you're interested in getting an on-site energy audit, contact a professional.
They use a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency
of your home. Equipment such as blower doors measure air leaks and infrared
cameras find things like areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.
