Program Announcement

Programs: EmPower+
To: Participating Contractors
Summary:  Appliance Project Reminders
Questions: Please contact Contractor Support at 1-800-284-9069.

For EmPower+ projects where an appliance replacement is recommended, contractors should be measuring the open space where the appliance will be located and not just providing the measurements of the existing appliance.

Also, it is important for the contractor to capture customer email- address, if one is available, and ensure both a primary phone number and secondary phone number for all customers are entered in the portal.  These alternative forms of contact are important for Appliance Vendors to ensure the customer will be available for the appliance delivery. If you have any questions, please contact Contractor Support at 1-800-284-9069.

Multifamily Contractor Application Training

Register: HERE

The new network is expected to be a roster of highly qualified firms and organizations who work directly with developers, building owners, and their representatives to plan and implement energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects in multifamily buildings. Participation in this network will enable contractors to be eligible for several multifamily programs, including the forthcoming multifamily programs to administer the Inflation Reduction Act’s Home Energy Rebates (IRA programs). Energy Assessors, Clean Heat Installers, and Participating Contractor Installers (including, General Contractors, Electricians, and Plumbers) are all new eligible service categories for this network.
The training will provide an overview of the IRA programs, the application process for new participants, and a shortened application process that participants in existing contractor networks may be eligible for.
