Building a new home is an exciting process. There are many energy efficiency measures available for new construction that can ensure that your new home is comfortable and that your energy costs are affordable.

Heat Pumps

A heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your new home. We offer a $700 rebate for qualifying installations of energy-efficient air-source heat pump systems.

Duct Sealing

Leaky ductwork can increase heating and cooling costs by as much as 30%, reduce indoor air quality and cause uncomfortable drafts. For homes installing a forced air electric furnace we offer a $400 rebate toward the cost of your duct sealing project when it is completed by a PTCS Certified Technician.

Appliance Rebates

We offer rebates ranging from $15 to $50 on the purchase of Energy Star qualified clothes washers, refrigerators and freezers. Download an Appliance Rebate Application.
