How It Works

At Energy Saver North Carolina, we’re committed to making your journey to energy efficiency as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

From confirming your income qualification to applying for rebates we’re here to help you every step of the way. Plus, our simplified process will help you identify whether the Homeowner Managing Efficiency Savings program (HOMES) or Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) is right for you. You may even qualify for both!

Whether you’re looking to reduce your utility bills, improve your home’s comfort, or take advantage of modern, energy-efficient appliances, Energy Saver North Carolina is a great way to get started.

Confirm Income Qualification

The rebates you can get depends on your household income and your project. You can qualify for rebates through HOMES (Homeowners Managing Efficiency Savings) and HEAR (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) based on how much energy you’re expected to save and your household income. The more energy you save, the higher the rebates. We can help you check if you qualify based on your income.

Get Your Free Home Assessment

Getting a free home energy assessment is one of the first steps in the Energy Saver North Carolina program. The energy assessor will help you understand how your home uses energy and give you a list of qualified improvements to help you save the most energy.

By updating equipment, insulating, air sealing, and finding other ways to save energy, you’ll unlock rebates, instant discounts, and other incentives to save money, energy, and make your home more comfortable.

Qualifying project upgrades might include:

• ENERGY STAR^® certified heating, cooling, and water heating equipment.
• ENERGY STAR certified appliances, doors, windows, and ventilation fans.
• Insulation and air sealing installation.

Complete Your Home Upgrade

Finding a reliable partner for your home improvement projects can make a big difference. Our Energy Saver North Carolina contractors are certified, licensed, and trained to help you save energy and money.

After reviewing quotes from registered contractors, you will approve the price, which includes the rebates. Your contractor will then submit the project for approval. Once approved, your contractor will complete the work.
