What’s next?
After we receive your application, we will qualify you for as many funding sources as possible. If your eligibility is confirmed, you will receive a letter from DHCD with your assigned contractor. You may contact them to schedule your in-home energy assessment or wait for them to contact you within 30 days. The assessment will identify the savings potential in your home and prioritize the most effective ways to reduce your energy costs while increasing comfort in the home. Finally, the contractor will complete the recommended work, at no cost to you.
