After your in-home assessment, your Energy Advisor will present you a Home Upgrade Proposal, which will provide personalized recommendations to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. The Proposal will also outline the costs and any available rebates for each upgrade.

We offer a limited selection of standard products. For certain appliances, which your Energy Advisor will review, you may choose from a selection of colors or finishes.

If you prefer to install equipment not covered by the service, check out PCE rebates which you may get working with your own contractor.

To make your experience as smooth as possible, all participants must use an PCE partner contractor. This helps us coordinate the project effectively and ensures you have a great experience.

If you prefer to use your own contractor, you can still benefit from PCE rebates and zero interest loan offerings.
