Program Overview
What is the Home Energy Check-Up program?
A participating contractor will perform an on-site check-up of your home. You will receive a personalized report showing the projected energy and potential cost savings you could earn resulting from the implementation of options identified during the check-up.
Once you provide documentation that some of the recommended energy efficiency improvements have been made, a portion of the check-up price will be refunded, up to the full price of the check-up for measures completed at the time of the check-up. [Note: ZeroDraft always performs the Check-Up at no cost to you; as a service, the check-up rebate is assigned to us as the Contractor so you do not have to wait for the rebate check to arrive].
