Energy Assessments

Get Started Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®

Energize Delaware’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program takes a whole-house approach to improving your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and safety. If you have already completed your Home Energy Assessment and are looking to inquire about additional program incentives, please visit our page for returning customers.

STEP 1

Schedule a Home Energy Assessment

The standard assessment co-pay is $50. Homes over 3,000 sq ft may incur a $100 co-pay. Income-qualified customers pay $25, see Special Eligibility Categories below.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® - GET STARTED

During your Home Energy Assessment with your permission, the advisor will install up to $250 worth of energy-saving products at no additional cost (includes LED light bulbs, faucet aerators, efficient-flow shower heads and water heater pipe insulation).

Assessment is MANDATORY before any work performed to become eligible for program incentives.

STEP 2

Review Your Home Energy Assessment

Review the Home Energy Assessment Report with your Program-Participating Contractor. Determine which improvements you want to make and ask your participating contractor about available Incentives.

Please note that a program participating contractor must install qualified products and/or equipment to be eligible for program incentives.

STEP 3

Select a Participating Contrator and Sign Agreement

Your contractor will then submit your rebate reservation with a copy of your signed agreement to begin the rebate reservation process with Energize Delaware. This must be done before they start the work.

The participating contractor will do the work.  Then the energy advisor that did your Home Energy Assessment will perform a final inspection to make sure the work was done properly. You may be notified if your project is randomly selected for quality assurance review by the Energize Delaware team.
