Income-Eligible Home Energy Solutions℠ in Connecticut
If you meet income requirements, you may qualify for no-cost home weatherization service.
No-Cost Services
When you qualify and enroll in Eversource’s Home Energy Solutions - Income Eligible program in Connecticut, a Building Performance Institute-certified technician will provide no-cost services that save the average participant over $200 per year on their energy bills.
These services could include:
- Important safety tests on your furnace or boiler
- Weatherization including sealing drafts and air leaks
- Water saving measures like low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators
- Energy-efficient LEDs to replace incandescent bulbs
- An easy-to-read Home Energy Solutions - Income Eligible workbook, which includes the results of the tests performed and additional energy-saving tips
- There is a possibility that a quality assurance inspector will be on site or will contact you post-service for an inspection
Continue With Additional Improvements
Your contractor may identify and recommend further energy-saving projects for your home, like:
- Insulation
- High-efficiency heating and cooling systems
- Energy-saving water heaters
- ENERGY-STAR® certified windows and appliances
You’ll get an estimate of the energy you’ll save making each improvement. We’ll then connect you to discounts and rebates for these projects, including a voucher to replace an eligible, inefficient refrigerator and up to 100% off a substantially reduced cost.
Added incentives
The more energy an improvement or combination of improvements will save, the greater incentive you’ll receive. Most customers receive these added improvements at little to no additional cost.
If you decide to move forward, your contractor will gather all quotes and arrange installation for you.
Do I Qualify?
If your family’s combined gross annual income does not exceed the state’s 60% income median, you may qualify for the program.
If you already qualify for our income-based payment assistance programs like Matching Payment Plan (MPP) or
New Start, you are also qualified for this no-cost energy efficiency program.
Customers are eligible to participate in Home Energy Solutions℠ once every 72 months. There is no asset test to qualify.
