Administered by the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA), the second phase of the pilot includes qualified home inspectors who are interested in providing third-party information about a home’s energy performance. Home Inspections By The Fulmer Group will deliver a PEARL home energy performance rating to interested homebuyers at no cost. Each rating comes with a list of recommendations that help the homebuyer plan upgrades to their newly purchased home to increase the efficiency and comfort of their home. |
