Natural Gas Energy Analysis

A Natural Gas Energy Analysis is a high-value, low-cost way to improve your energy efficiency. A certified energy auditor will inspect your facility and its current equipment, then provide a written report analyzing the energy-savings measures you can take. Our Comprehensive Analysis is appropriate for most customers and it’s available for a co-pay of $200. The remainder of the cost is covered by CenterPoint Energy. Small facilities may be eligible for a lower cost analysis.

CenterPoint Energy also partners with Xcel Energy to offer joint customers a comprehensive electric/natural gas energy audit. If you receive electric service from Xcel Energy, you can request a joint electric/natural gas site visit for a total co-pay of $500. The remainder of the cost is covered by the utilities.
