Energy Quiz: How Efficient Is Your Home?

An energy contractor's first site visit usually burns half an hour on basic discovery: what kind of furnace is in the basement, how old the insulation is, whether anyone has ever run a professional audit. Those are answers a homeowner could have typed in from the couch. The Energy Assessment Quiz collects them up front, so the first real conversation starts from a score instead of a blank clipboard.

Picture the lead that arrives already qualified

A homeowner clicks your link from a mailer or a Facebook post. Over the next three to five minutes they work through eight questions about their house, with a progress indicator showing how far is left and the option to step back and revise an answer. At the end they get a result scored out of 80 points. Anyone landing under the 50 point threshold has obvious room to improve, which is exactly the message that gets an audit booked. You see the response, the score, and every individual answer in your dashboard.

Eight questions that map a home's weak spots

The questions move through the systems that matter most. The opener asks "What type of heating system does your home use?" with options ranging from heat pump or geothermal down to space heaters and baseboard heating. A quick true or false checks whether most of the home's bulbs are LED. Later items cover insulation age, window type, smart thermostat use, and a multi-select list of energy-saving appliances such as Energy Star refrigerators and tankless water heaters. The final question asks whether the homeowner has ever had a professional energy audit, a natural bridge into your service pitch.

Every question is worth 10 points and carries a short explanation grounded in real efficiency facts, like the note that LED bulbs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. Skipping is switched off, so you always get a complete picture of the property.

Adjust the scoring to fit the homes you serve

Everything in the template is editable. Serve a market full of older housing stock? Reweight the insulation and window questions, or lower the 50 point pass mark. Swap in your own explanations, apply your company's colors and logo, and add a lead capture step so a score never arrives without contact details attached.
