Residents in the Town of Okotoks can now find out if their house is heat efficient or deficient.

The Town released their MyHEAT Energy Efficiency Platform Monday
 which shows every house in the community where their heat is either escaping and burning more energy or staying a healthy green efficiency standards.

Corporate and Strategic Services Coordinator for the Town, Nancy Weigel says all you need to do to find your heat score is follow the links on the Town's website.

"You can either search via the map or you can punch in your home address and you will get a heat map, a heat score and some energy efficient tips to lower you heat score," she says.

Once there the map will show a grid of exactly where heat is escaping you home through different colour schemes with red being the worst and blue having strong efficiency.

Weigel says where there's red, that's a sign to maybe look into making some adjustments to lower your heating bill.

"It's where typical some heat is escaping from the home," she says. "It could be that it's lower insulated in that spot, perhaps it's a garage as an example that's on an older home that was not insulated and dry walled, it might be an addition to the home, those could be some of the reasons that heat is escaping."

Weigel says she recommends that all residents have a look at their home through MyHEAT and find out if their home is in need of some upgrades to lower their heat score.

MyHEAT is only available to residential areas, excluding condo complexes and businesses.
