Save on energy-efficient home upgrades

Making energy-efficient home upgrades can help you save money on your energy bill while also making your home cozier! That’s why we offer year-round incentives for making energy efficiency upgrades at home. Make sure you’re taking advantage of the savings and rebates available for all areas of your home. 

Home Assessment

Whether you want to complete your own online assessment or have an expert audit your home in person or virtually, completing an evaluation is a great way to identify issues and uncover savings. If you decide to schedule an assessment, you will receive a home analysis and a customized action plan that provides you with personalized recommendations to help you save energy and money.  

Air Conditioner

During the summer, air conditioning can account for 50% or more of your total electric bill. That’s why we offer cash back for customers who make the switch to a more efficient AC unit. According to Energy.gov, making the switch can help you reduce AC energy usage by 20%-50%.*

Duct System

In a typical home, ENERGY STAR states about 20% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost because of improper sealing. In other words, leaky ducts can cost you $200 or more a year* according to Energy.gov. It may be time for a duct repair if you notice a significant difference between your home’s hottest and coldest rooms.

Insulation

Because there are many older homes in the Valley, you’ve likely been in one that lacks proper insulation. Not only can you tell the difference (it’s usually considerably warmer), but the home’s AC can too. The less insulated the home is, the harder the AC will have to work to cool it down.

When combined with sealed air leaks, properly installed insulation provides for more even temperatures throughout the house, resulting in a quieter, more comfortable home. It can help you save about 10%* on cooling and heating costs.

Windows

Did you know that about 50% of the heat that enters your home comes through the windows according to Energy.gov? This makes installing shade screens or window film one of the most effective and affordable energy efficiency upgrades. Shade screens and window film provide many benefits, such as: 

  • Blocking heat gain
  • Protecting interiors from sun damage
  • Adding privacy
  • Lowering cooling costs
  • Creating a more comfortable home

Customers who have shade screens professionally installed will receive a rebate of $1 per square foot.

Roof

Heat transfer can be reduced by reflecting sunlight, and we have a perfect solution for the area of the home that takes on the sun’s beams directly. This rebate on cooling paint for rooftops can improve a home’s comfort while reducing cooling demand by 10%–15%.

*Results will vary based on your existing systems, size of home, comfort preferences and price plan.

  1. Why are there not any rebates nor any details about replacement windows. Many homes have single pane windows , and i want to know how much heat will be prevented from entering my home during the summer. I’m considering double pane , gas filled replacement windows

    1. Hi Debby, thank you for the question. While we do not currently offer a rebate on windows, we do offer two free shade trees and a rebate for professionally installed shade screens.
