Steps To Participate

  1. CHOOSE YOUR UPGRADES

    Choose the energy-saving upgrades you want to incorporate into your new home and include those details in your design drawings.

  2. APPLY AND RECEIVE APPROVAL

    Send us your application form and design drawings before you start work on your project. We’ll review your application for approval and calculate your estimated rebate. We may request photos of the installed upgrade(s) during construction.

    If you’re a homebuilder and would like to submit several projects at once, contact us to learn what other application methods we’ll accept.
  3. GET A REBATE

    When your home is complete, send us your completion declaration and related invoices, and we’ll send you your rebate. It’s that simple!
