How can we help you today?

Is there “a catch”? What do I have to do to get a home Uplift?

There’s no catch — Home Uplift provides up to $10,000 per household in FREE energy upgrades that help improve energy efficiency in our community.

Your income and home must match certain qualifications to benefit from this program, as we are trying to help customers in situations where energy-saving updates are out of reach for their budget. To prove your eligibility, you will need to apply here and provide the requested documentation. There are also certain legal requirements your home must meet to qualify, so an EPB Energy Pro will need to stop by your home to perform an inspection and confirm eligibility. We also may ask you to fill out optional surveys about your experience with Home Uplift.

Yes. Low-watt LED light bulbs use 75% less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs and last up to ten times longer. Installing them in just five of your most frequently used light fixtures can save over $65 a year in energy costs. And, turning off all unnecessary lights saves even more.

Power bills vary depending on the amount of electric power you use. Weather plays the biggest role in your electric bill since your HVAC unit is one of your home's biggest energy users. In the milder months of spring and fall, you are more likely to use less energy than in the colder and hotter months of the winter or summer.
