1. Find a Certified Home Performance with ENERGY STAR^® Contractor
   
   When you're ready to begin your energy efficiency improvements, the first step is to find a certified Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractor.
   
   Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractors are certified by the Building Performance Institute to perform energy audits, diagnose building problems such as moisture, mold, and ice dams, and install the recommended energy efficiency improvements.
   
   Rutland County residents looking to make energy efficiency home improvements should contact the H.E.A.T Squad, a service of Neighborworks of Western Vermont, with support from Efficiency Vermont.
2. Review Your Work Scope and Learn About Incentives
   
   Your Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractor will provide a work scope for recommended energy efficiency improvements and help you prioritize within your budget. Your contractor will also share an estimate of the Efficiency Vermont incentives that may be available for your project, if it is completed as recommended.
3. Complete the Work
   
   Your contractor will complete the recommended improvements and conduct a final "test-out" of your home to measure the air-leakage reduction and ensure that ventilation and health and safety issues have been addressed.
4. Receive Your Incentive
   
   When the work is complete, your contractor will provide you with a final incentive form to submit to Efficiency Vermont. Efficiency Vermont will send you an incentive check within three weeks of receiving the completed form.
5. Enjoy the Benefits of Your Energy Efficiency Home Improvements!
