When you work with us through the Home Performance Program, you will be improving your home’s energy efficiency – and also unlocking valuable rebates to save you money.
Here’s how it works:
One of our experienced Home Performance Energy Advisors will evaluate your home’s energy efficiency, rating it on a scale from 0 to 10. They will provide you with a comprehensive report outlining recommended updates to enhance your home’s efficiency.
Even if your initial efficiency score isn’t a perfect 10, you have an opportunity to make substantial improvements. Our extensive contractor network is at your service, ready to perform the necessary upgrades. Please note that to qualify for rebates, you must select an approved contractor from our network.
As you embark on your journey to a more energy-efficient home, some upgrades may qualify for additional rebates. To ensure you’re eligible for these savings, remember two key criteria:
- Improvements must be carried out by an Appalachian Power approved contractor
