Whole-home Efficiency
Tired of experiencing uneven temperatures throughout your home, resulting in higher energy bills?
Achieve whole-home comfort and you can save up to 20%* on your energy bills with our Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® (HPwES) program.
Our HPwES program provides a comprehensive approach to improving your home's efficiency through insulation, seal up, equipment upgrades and more — with incentives to help get you there:
Up to $5,000* in rebates per project
Up to $15,000 with our 0%* APR On-Bill Repayment Program (OBRP)
Rebates
Rebates are available based on the project's projected total energy savings (TES), which will be determined with data collected during your preliminary home energy audit.
All HPwES projects must include insulation and seal up measures, with the option of adding high-efficiency equipment replacement, such as HVAC and water heating, to maximize your rebate potential.

Experience fewer drafts.
Improves home comfort.
Features
Provides resistance to heat flow.
Fills gaps around home.
Helps maintain indoor temperature.
