Assisted Home Performance with Energy Star (AHPwES/Subsidy)
Assisted Home Performance with Energy Star is a matching funds program through Energy Finance Solutions (EFS) that we typically use when someone needs a new heating system, however you can also use it for other energy upgrades if you choose. This program is able to cover half of your project cost up to $4,000. To view the income guidelines, please visit this page and select your county.
Examples: If you have an $8,000 project, the subsidy would cover $4,000, and you would be required to pay the rest out of pocket, by loan, or with another source of funding. If your project cost is $6,000, the subsidy would cover $3,000 and the rest would be up to you to cover, as mentioned previously.
