A personalized, whole-home energy efficiency upgrade
If you want to bring your home up to modern efficiency standards but are not sure where to start, the Deep Energy Retrofit Bonus can help.
A new $500 bonus rebate is available for customers who complete multiple retrofit upgrades to their existing home.
This bonus is in addition to the individual rebates you'll receive for qualifying upgrades.
This program features an in-home audit (a type of home energy assessment) with one of our partner contractors. Through this audit, the contractor will identify the best opportunities to improve energy efficiency and home comfort. The contractor will help you create a personalized project plan to meet your goals.
We recognize that homes have multiple systems that interact. The Deep Energy Retrofit Bonus aims to create a solution for your whole home to help with energy costs, comfort, and your personal health.
Typical program participants can receive over $5,000 total in combined value, including $2,000 in combined PPL Electric Utilities rebates and up to $3,200 in federal tax credits (see examples below).
