Home Improvement Incentive Program
When you take advantage of a HELPS Energy Audit and complete an insulation
or window upgrade in your home, you can receive incentives, reduce
energy consumption and lower your electric bill. NAED offers residential
customers big incentives on eligible home insulation upgrades and
ENERGY STAR® window replacements. We encourage you to start
saving energy in your home by arranging for a home energy audit
to become eligible for incentives. Click
here for more information. Both programs are offered only to
NAED residential customers. The programs run from January 1 thru
December 31 each year or when annual funds are expended. Limit:
one appliance rebate and one incentive payment (up to $300) per
NAED customer of record per calendar year. Applications for rebates
and incentives must be original applications -- copies are not accepted.
Applications are available to pick up at NAED or by calling 508.643.6300.
