The first step to a more comfortable home is knowing where to start. A free home energy assessment shows you how your home uses energy and reveals the upgrades you need to improve its energy efficiency, reduce drafts and air leaks. The assessment will be scheduled at no cost to you once it has been confirmed that your home is qualified to complete an eligible insulation upgrade. Following the assessment1, participants will receive a renovation upgrade report, which includes a customized upgrade plan and an energy report.
Benefits at a glance:
-
Free home energy assessment and a renovation upgrade report.
-
Up to 100% of equipment and installation costs covered.
-
Instant rebates2 when you work with a program-approved contractor.
