Golden State Home Inspections

STEP 1 INSPECTION
A certified energy inspector examines and measures the home and finds all opportunities for energy savings.

STEP 2 DETAILED ANALYSIS
Specialized software produces a Report which shows savings and costs for energy efficiency improvements.

STEP 3 IMPLEMENTATION
The Report provides access to a contractor referral service and a direct line to an energy expert.

STEP 4 FINANCING
Each Report lists the group of improvements that, when financed, will save more than they cost.

For REALTORS:

Here at CMC we understand that all homes that are over 15 years old cost a lot more to operate because energy technology has changed so fast. This can make selling an older house more difficult.

Nationwide, homebuyers are looking beyond the cosmetic to ensure their property has sufficient insulation, good windows, a reliable heating and cooling system and other current energy technology measures in place. Savvy buyers know that homes with today’s energy technology have a greater resale value, are more comfortable, winter and summer, and help to control unpredictable energy bills.

What is Home Energy Tune-uP®

Home Energy Tune-uP® is a division of the largest, oldest residential energy services company, CMC Energy Services. Founded in 1977, CMC has administered over 250,000 home energy inspections.

Tune-uP is a service that helps people lower their energy bills by identifying cost-effective technology upgrades. Tune-uP is the most detailed and accurate energy inspection available.

A certified Tune-uP® Inspector performs an energy audit or inspection and checks the insulation, windows, heating and cooling systems, the water heater and appliances, and looks for cracks and gaps where air may be entering.
The information gathered is analyzed using CMC's specialized software, and a Tune-uP Report is generated that lists recommended energy improvements with savings and cost estimates. It explains each recommendation, and discusses low and no-cost energy savings suggestions that will make a home feel more comfortable.
The Report provides a link for obtaining contractors and a number to call for technical help or financing sources.

How Will A Tune-uP® Help My Business?

Give your clients the power to bring today's energy technology to yesteryear's homes

When representing the buyer, offer the gift of a Tune-uP® to your clients to help them upgrade their home at no out-of-pocket cost.
When representing the seller, consider a Tune-uP® Report to show to prospective buyers, or have the house put in top condition so it sells faster and for a higher price.

With a Home Energy Tune-uP®, you provide the peace of mind that can make the sale. People are concerned that older homes may be less comfortable and will have high energy bills.

The Tune-uP® Report gives your clients the information they need to make an educated decision, and lists the upgrades whose energy savings will pay for the investment.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades Pay For Themselves

In most cases, energy efficiency upgrades pay for themselves in a few years through energy savings.

Customers with no money to invest can still afford to invest in energy improvements by financing those items whose monthly energy savings are greater than their costs.
Customers who want to make a wise investment can implement all recommended upgrades to increase home comfort and value further, and to obtain a good non-taxable return.

Can the investment be financed on the mortgage?

Yes! A new instrument, the Streamline(k) mortgage, covers small repairs up to $35,000. For conventional loans, it is up to the lender. We recommend Summit Funding.
