Incentives

Significant rebates for your customers with Home Performance with ENERGY STAR!

Attention Contractors!
Effective September 1, 2011, you are now required to submit a rebate reservation request with completed application documentation for completed or jobs in progress by September 10, 2011 to be eligible for rebates at the current levels. Read more about the new rebate reservation system.

You and your customer will work together to determine the improvements they want to implement and determine which “pathway to savings” makes the most sense.  The Standard Path allows your customer to receive rebates based on a standard list of home energy improvement upgrades.  Following the Performance Path allows them to receive rebates based upon the overall reduction of energy use of the home. A printable pdf version of this table is also available.
