All-electric homes use high-performance heat pump technology for heating, cooling, and water heating. They feature super-insulated building envelopes that minimize heat loss, leaks, and drafts to maximize energy efficiency.
They are also designed to increase comfort and indoor air quality, reduce energy and maintenance costs, and provide sustained home value over time.
Incentives depend on the number of individually metered dwelling units. For homes with two or more units, all units must meet the same level of eligibility requirements.
Incentive amounts are per building.
| Home Type | Level 1 | Level 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family | $15,000 | $25,000 |
| 2-unit dwelling | $17,500 | $30,000 |
| 3-unit dwelling | $20,000 | $35,000 |
| 4-unit dwelling | $22,500 | $40,000 |
View the Eligibility Tab to confirm the eligibility requirements.
Contact an approved certified Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rater to enroll your home for incentives. Your HERS Rater must enroll the project before construction begins and conduct all the mandatory inspections and verifications of the home to ensure that you have met all eligibility requirements.
If you have any questions, please call 1-866-527-SAVE (7283) or email [email protected].
To qualify for incentives, homes must meet the criteria of either Level 1 or Level 2 performance requirements.
