Virginia's $250 Energy Audit Rebate
by Lisa Tsoupelis on October 7, 2009
Today’s news seems very fitting with the blog I wrote last week ‘Meet Chris Your Local Energy Auditor’, which identified the benefits of a home energy
audit. In last weeks blog, I highlighted the following as the main reasons for conducting a home energy audit: improving air quality, saving money on energy bills, increasing comfort, mitigating moisture problems, and reducing your carbon footprint.
If the above reasons were not a big enough incentive to schedule a home energy audit, I think the following exciting news from Virginia DMME’s Division of Energy should seal the deal. Virginia Homeowners will be eligible to receive a rebate up to $250 of the cost of having an energy audit conducted by a certified auditor or contractor.
In addition to the $250 energy audit rebate, Division of Energy will be providing $15 million in rebates for the installation of energy efficiency systems and devices in residential homes and commercial businesses. The energy efficiency rebate covers Central AC Units, Heat Pumps, Furnaces, window replacement and other major systems equipment.
Combined with the federal tax credit for energy efficient improvements, home owners could be compensated for up to 50% of the costs they incur. Stay tuned… we our working with our CPA to publish more detailed information about these programs in the coming days.
