Savings Within Reach incentive amounts, specifications, and income requirements for Home Retrofit and Multifamily are the same.

    • Owners must approve work before it begins

Eligible properties

  • Single-family homes
  • Manufactured homes
  • Multifamily homes (attached residential units) including:
    • Duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes
    • Attached side-by-side structures, such as a townhome or rowhouse
    • Stacked structures with five or more units are eligible for the ductless heat pump and heat pump water heater incentives only.
