Why we do not list amounts
Programs change, funds run out and eligibility depends on your home and sometimes your income. Quoting a number from memory could mislead you.
Confirm every detail with the program.
Where to look
Start with your electric utility and any local programs. Check federal and state tax information, or ask a tax professional about credits for energy improvements.
Look for the current rules and deadlines.
What programs often ask for
Common requirements include specific materials or R-values, an audit, photos and an itemized invoice. Some need pre-approval.
Ask before you sign a contract.
Documents to keep
Keep the proposal, the invoice, the product data sheets, photos and any test results. They support an application or a tax claim.
We provide them on request.
Timing matters
Starting work before approval can disqualify a project. Dates for credits and rebates can change, so plan with margin.
Verify the date that applies to your work.
Working with your contractor
A contractor can supply paperwork and answer questions about the work. You remain the applicant.
We help you gather what you need.
Ask the program first, keep every document and let current rules, not memory, guide your decision.
