Summary

Focus on Energy offers in-home energy audits and cash incentives for installing select recommended efficiency measures. Energy consultants inspect home energy systems, help identify the most effective measures for increasing home efficiency, and assist participants in applying for incentives. The audit itself costs $200-$400, reduced to $50 for Tier 2-eligible customers. Incentives of up to $2,250 are available for insulation and sealing improvements. To determine if you qualify for Tier 1 or 2 benefits, find your household size and household income in the State Median Income (SMI) chart on the program website. Interested customers should begin the process by scheduling an energy assessment with a Home Performance Trade Ally. Information about selecting a Trade Ally is available on the program website.
