Energy Trust supports the efforts of builders and subcontractors who prioritize energy-efficiency. When you install high-efficiency equipment in new homes, you can receive cash incentives ranging from $20 to $500.
Equipment incentives are only available for homes that do not have an EPSTM. Homes that earn an EPS qualify for a different set of incentives.
The following energy-efficient equipment is eligible for Energy Trust incentives:
- Qualified ductless heat pump systems reduce heating and cooling costs by providing efficient zoning for individual rooms, smart controls and motion sensors, and by eliminating duct leakage.
- Qualified heat pump water heaters more than double the efficiency of traditional electric tanks by pulling heat from the outside air and using it to heat water. This reduces the need for electric resistance heat. Most models include digital displays for easy adjusting, plus a vacation mode for further savings.
- Gas tankless water heaters provide unlimited hot water on demand and save energy by not storing heated water. These units are particularly beneficial in homes that require a large amount of hot water, or in homes where there is not enough space for a standard tank water heater.
- ENERGY STAR® gas tank water heaters with an energy factor of 0.67 or better are also eligible for incentives. They can provide long-term savings over standard models with a minimal increase in upfront cost.
- Qualified showerheads and shower wands save energy and water without sacrificing performance.
