Get Engergy Smart: Retrofit Program
Rebate Table

Cumulative Rebate Total per household cannot exceed a maximum of $3000 for Energy Improvements; Plus $750 for Audit. The rebate amount per energy improvement is calculated as follows: invoice amount (or percentage thereof) up to maximum rebate amount, not including taxes or other incentives.

Please note that some rebate categories require a comprehensive home energy audit be conducted by a Participating Contractor before any work is completed. Any work being done by a contractor must be done by a pre-qualified Participating Contractor.

Participants should be aware that the Internal Revenue Service requires reporting of rebates as income. Participants will be required to submit a W-9 form with their Rebate Request Form to enable that reporting. Rebates for ENERGY STAR® Appliances are exempt from this requirement and will be subtracted from the annual total rebate amount. For additional information on this requirement, please see the Department of Energy’s EECBG Program Notice 10-016.

If "priority recommendations” in audit are not implemented, the maximum dollar amount for that rebate category is half the amount stated in this table. For additional details, see Program Guidelines.
