Butte, Mont. - Jan. 7, 2014 - As winter settles in, NorthWestern Energy is offering free home energy audits that can help customers save money on their utility bills.
As part of NorthWestern's E+ program, a team of energy experts will be working in northcentral Montana the week of Jan. 13-17. The team has a number of openings for the audits, which provide a detailed report on a home's energy use, weatherization tips and information on energy-efficient practices. In some cases, the experts may, at no charge, install water-heater wraps, low-flow shower heads, low-flow faucet aerators and insulation of hot-water pipes.
The auditors will also inspect natural-gas fueled appliances and perform blower tests to spot areas of air leakage in homes.
In the Havre-area, time slots for audits are available Monday through Wednesday, Jan. 13-15.
In Chinook, Harlem and Fort Belknap, the audits will be performed on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
In Box Elder, Big Sandy, Loma and Fort Benton, the audits will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
In Choteau, Augusta, Simms, Fairfield, Vaughn, Fort Shaw and Sun River, the audits will take place on Thursday, Jan. 16.

Residential customers whose space or hot-water heating fuels are delivered by NorthWestern Energy, have not had an E+ audit in the past and whose home is more than five years old are eligible for an on-site energy audit. Other restrictions may apply and funding for the audit program, provided by the Universal System Benefits program, is limited.
