How It Works
Our Energy Coaches are here to help you understand how your home uses energy. Explore the programs below or contact an Energy Coach today to learn about your home, improve health and safety, qualify for local rebates and incentives, and do your part for the environment.
Every home is different, but together with our community partners we are here to help you from start to finish. Before you begin, we recommend you review income and community priority qualifications to ensure we maximize rebates and incentives for your home and family.
Step 1:

Support for Income-Qualified Households
Income-qualified households receive free energy assessments, increased rebate incentives, and one-on-one support from an Energy Coach to guide you every step of the way.
Income-qualified programs are designed for households whose total household income is at or below 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
AMI represents the middle-income level for households in our region and varies by household size. Many local, state, and utility energy programs use AMI to ensure additional support reaches households who need it most.
*To confirm eligibility, income-qualified participants will be asked to share income documentation.
| Household Size | 150% AMI | |
|---|---|---|
| People living full-time in the home (including children) | Annually | Monthly |
| 1 Person | $139,950 | $11,663 |
