Rebates and Tax Credits

Even with excellent long-term payback, we understand that home improvements cost money upfront. We can link you with financial incentives that can save real money. We’re here to make it easy.

Rebates and Tax Credits

It’s simple. A more energy efficient home means a lower MyHomeEQ and bill. That also means a cozier home with better efficiency.

What is this?

What We Do

Calculate your Energy Quotient. You'll find out how your home compares to others like it in your hometown.

Recommend improvements. You'll receive suggestions for energy efficient improvements you can make that are tailored to your home.

Connect you with contractors. Choose from a list of trusted contractors who will work with you to make the improvements you decide to make. All of the service providers listed are local, licensed, bonded, and insured. Review and then automatically request a quote.

Link you with financial incentives. Home energy improvements can be costly with paybacks stretched out over time. We've collected information that will help you find incentives to lower your initial costs.

How You Benefit

A more comfortable home. You'll notice the cool, drafty spots in your home become warmer and you can stop compensating by overheating the rest of the house.

Lower utility bills. The price of energy varies, but it typically rises over time. With energy improvements, you'll see savings on your utility bills now and in the future.

Improve the market value of your home. We're working with realtors to make a home's energy efficiency an important selling point. As your home's EQ goes down, the value of your home will go up.
