Program Steps: All steps will need to be completed to participate in the program
Schedule an Appointment. Contact one of City Utilities approved energy auditors to perform a home energy assessment.
Review the Recommendations. After the assessment is complete, the energy auditor will create a report that details the recommended improvements and calculates the potential savings. The energy auditor will outline the minimum measures required to qualify for the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR rebates.
Make the Improvements. You will determine which efficiency measures you would like to complete, then you have the option to work with the energy auditor to implement the recommendations, use your own contractors, or make the improvements yourself. You must retain all receipts and necessary paperwork, as outlined in the rebate applications.
Verify the Results. Once the improvements have been made, you will contact the energy auditor to perform a Post-Installation Test of the home. This will verify that the improvements were installed correctly and the second blower-door test will measure the reduction in air leakage in the home.
Submit Rebate Applications. The last step is to submit your rebate applications to City Utilities. This must be done within 6 months of the initial energy audit.
