Efficiency First: Before installing a heat pump, weatherize your property to enhance comfort, reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and improve equipment efficiency and lifespan.
What is the process?
Please follow the steps below to apply for the Multifamily Initiative:
Complete the application and submit it to your utility company, along with your or your contractor’s proposal(s) for energy efficiency upgrades. Your utility company will then review both your application and proposal(s).
Once your application is approved, a pre-inspection of proposed upgrades may be conducted. Afterward, the utility will issue a Letter of Agreement, which serves as a formal commitment to the incentives.
After the energy efficiency upgrades are installed, a post-inspection will be performed. Upon successful completion, the incentive payment will be issued for qualifying upgrades.
