There are currently billions of dollars on the table to support whole-home energy efficiency upgrades in the United States. Wisconsin received $150 million in funding and became the first state in the country to establish its Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) program, administered by Focus on Energy. Through the HOMES program, Wisconsin homeowners and renters can receive substantial rebates for energy efficiency upgrades, including insulation, HVAC, windows, and more. Host Rose Daily and guests Dylan Crye with Focus on Energy and Joe Pater with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin discuss program details, eligibility, and the process for applying, along with the positive impact this program is having on local contractors.
