The Whole-House option is a comprehensive approach that assesses all of the systems within your home. A Building Performance Institute (BPI), certified participating contractor will use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and software to perform a comprehensive home energy assessment and identify specific energy-saving measures and home improvements that will reduce energy costs, improve indoor air quality and create a more comfortable and healthy home. Once the recommended improvements are successfully completed by a participating program contractor, a follow up assessment will determine the resulting energy performance and customers can receive a rebate up to $2,200 based on the energy savings actually achieved.
Georgia Power customers not interested in the Whole-House approach can still be eligible for up to $700 in rebates by installing Individual Improvements. Depending on the improvement type, installation may be performed by a homeowner, a non-BPI certified contractor and/or a BPI certified contractor. Once the Individual Improvements are successfully installed, the appropriate rebates up to $700 will be paid accordingly.
