Are the rebate programs predicated to cover energy audits for homes in Wisconsin?
Yes, visit Focus on Energy to find a partnering consultant.
Cash-Back rewards from Focus on Energy require an up-front Home Performance with ENERGY STAR evaluation (energy audit) conducted by a consultant partnering with Focus on Energy. A list of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR consultants in your area is available on the Focus on Energy Web site or at 800-762-7077.
The Federal tax credits that are available for consumers do not require an up-front evaluation. To learn the details regarding federal tax credits, I would suggest visiting the ENERGY STAR (R) Web site or the Tax Incentives Assistant Project Web site. These Web sites have information that consumers and businesses need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies.
Some utilities subsidize energy evaluations. Please contact your utility for information about that.
