Energy Efficiency Programs
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®

Unitil has partnered with Energy Star to offer our customers the NH Home Performance with Energy Star program. This fuel neutral weatherization program offers participants a comprehensive energy audit and rebates 75% up to $4,000 for qualified energy saving improvements. The program is only available for a limited time and customers must meet program guidelines to qualify for the NH Home Performance with Energy Star program.

How Does the Program Work?

A certified energy auditor will conduct a comprehensive “whole house” assessment of your home. The assessment is an energy and safety evaluation of the home that includes a visual inspection of lighting and appliances as well as performance testing of the ventilation and mechanical systems, building tightness, and insulation levels that will result in a scope of work outlining recommended energy efficiency improvements.

There is a $100.00 audit fee (a $450 value) payable at the time of scheduling the audit. Audit fees may be refundable to customers who implement at least one recommended energy-efficiency improvement equivalent to the value of the audit.

What Improvements are Eligible for Incentives?

Based on recommendations made by your auditor you may be eligible for a 75% rebate up to $4,000 to help you pay for the energy efficiency improvements.

Your auditor will review your home’s assessment report with you and discuss opportunities for energy efficiency improvements. Improvements may include:

• Adding additional insulation to your attic, basement and walls
• Sealing and insulating ductwork
• Reducing air leaks and drafts by air sealing around windows, doors, plumbing and electrical penetrations
• Upgrading lighting by installing Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs or fixtures
• Installing water saving devices such as faucet aerators and low flow showerheads
• Insulating domestic hot water pipes and tanks
