Home Performance With ENERGY STAR® Program

In order to have your rebate processed this year, you must have a program approved reservation and your participating contractor must submit your completed project application no later than December 31, 2026. Completed project applications submitted will be processed in the order in which they are received. Due to anticipated high demand, some completed project applications processing and payments may flow over into the start of 2027.

Any projects submitted without an approved reservation and or after the December 31, 2026 deadline will be placed into a pending status awaiting approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission regarding the continuance of the energy efficiency programs.

Get Your Home Energy Assessment

Find a contractor

Once you've scheduled your assessment, a Participating Contractor will come to your home and use diagnostic equipment to perform a comprehensive evaluation. This helps to determine your home’s energy use, and how a combination of improvements can work together to increase home comfort, lower energy consumption and energy costs.

This process may include:

  • Testing your home for air leakage, which contributes to higher energy costs.
  • Camera tests using infrared images to assess your home's insulation, which can directly affect comfort and energy efficiency performance.
  • Safety testing to detect carbon monoxide and natural gas leaks.
  • Checking for proper ventilation, which is critical to reducing indoor air pollutants and preventing moisture and mold growth in your home.

Following your assessment, you'll receive a detailed report with recommended improvements, potential energy savings and available rebates for eligible measures to make your home more energy efficient.

Request an assessment and a Participating Contractor will contact you to get started.
