Anyone can take advantage of EPB & TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebates for qualifying energy improvements they make to their home. If you are a homeowner, there’s no limit on how many homes you can include in the program. If you are a renter, you will need to co-sign a Participation Agreement with the owner of your home to ensure that all measures are agreed upon by both parties, and to ensure that both contractors and EPB Energy ProsSM are allowed on the premise to complete work as needed.
We highly recommend starting the process with a free EPB Energy ProsSM Home Energy Checkup to understand which improvements will give you the greatest energy savings. Once you’ve identified a qualifying home energy improvement project, you’ll choose an approved contractor from the EPB & TVA Quality Contractor Network. Only contractors in this network are approved to help you claim rebates. After your contractor completes your project, you will receive an email from "MyTVA@MyTVA.com" with instructions on how to receive your rebate. You will also be given the option to schedule a FREE EPB Energy ProsSM Quality Assurance Checkup where we will ensure your contractor’s work meets specifications to help you achieve maximum energy savings.
An EPB Energy ProsSM Home Energy Checkup is not required to participate in the program. However, we are always glad to visit your home or chat with you on the phone free of charge to help you determine which energy-saving upgrades would help improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency – while earning you the biggest possible rebates. Chat with us for details.
