Fairfax County has launched a new program to help simplify the process of making energy-efficient upgrades for homeowners. The Fairfax Energy Compass program, introduced in September 2025, offers free personalized advice from energy experts who provide homeowners with clear guidance and tailored solutions to transform their homes into energy-saving spaces.

Maya Dhavale, senior community specialist and program manager for Fairfax Energy Compass with our Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination, appeared on a recent County Conversation podcast to explain how the program works and who can benefit from it.
