Energy Efficiency: An investment with a guaranteed return
These days, everyone is looking to make solid financial decisions. One of the smartest ideas you can make? Improve your home’s energy efficiency. By saving energy, not only are you guaranteed a reduction in your energy bills, you’ll also be increasing your comfort and adding long-term value to your home. And using less energy means fewer emissions — which helps the environment.
If you’re interested in making your home more energy-efficient, look no further than our Home Energy Improvement Program. Through this new program, you can receive cash rebates from Progress Energy to help you increase your home’s energy efficiency, get a list of specially trained contractors you can use to complete your improvements, and learn more about the financial and other benefits of having an energy-efficient home.
The cash rebates can be used for the following improvements:
HVAC system maintenance
HVAC system replacement

Attic insulation upgrade and attic sealing
Installing energy-efficient windows
In addition to the cash rebates from Progress Energy, many of the improvements listed above may help you qualify for additional federal tax credit up to $1,500.

With the Home Energy Improvement Program, not only do you get assistance in paying for upgrades to your home’s energy efficiency, the increase in energy savings you’ll receive will reduce your energy bills for years to come.
