In-Home Energy Evaluation Program

Caney Fork Electric Cooperative and TVA are making it easier than ever to become energy efficient while also saving money. With the new In-Home Energy Evaluation Program, you can reduce your power usage and receive a cash incentive or financing assistance for installing home energy improvements. The recommended energy-related home improvements you make are eligible for reimbursement of 50 percent of the installation cost, with an upper limit of $500, or for convenient financing.

Here’s how it works

• Contact Caney Fork Electric Cooperative to arrange for an in-home energy evaluation by a TVA-certified evaluator.*

• The evaluator reviews your home and creates a report outlining the potential energy-efficiency modifications and available cash incentives or financing.

• Modifications must be made by a member of the TVA Quality Contractor Network, except for self-installed insulation. The evaluator will provide the names of qualified contractors.

• All home improvements must be completed within 90 days. Once the work is finished, it will be inspected to ensure that everything is installed properly to maximize savings.

• After the inspection, you submit receipts for the completed work to be eligible for the cash incentive. For financing, your contractor will be paid directly upon successful completion of the inspection.

Cash incentive option

No matter how many modifications are made, $500 is the maximum reimbursable amount for all approved work completed. Some modifications have lower maximum amounts, and some require distributor pre-approval (see list).

Eligible improvements

These items are eligible for financing of all installed recommended measures up to $20,000 and subject to credit approval or up to a 50 percent cash incentive on recommended installation measures. Some items may also be eligible for federal tax credits. For information, see fact sheets available from your distributor or the Tax Incentives Assistance Project site.
