Make your home more energy efficient!

Stop wasting energy!

A participating contractor can tell you where you're wasting energy, and recommend improvements. An assessment can also qualify you for additional rebates!

Home Energy Assessments details

Don't waste your AC!

The EPA estimates that 20-30% of conditioned air is wasted due to leaks. Improvements to your home could help you keep your heated or cooled air inside.

Expensive hot water!

Did you know that water heating is the second-largest energy expense in the home? Switching to a heat pump water heater can help you save energy and money.
