Home Performance With ENERGY STAR® Program
The Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Process
A Contractor’s Step-By-Step Guide
Pepco's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program takes a whole-house approach to making energy improvements, while ensuring the health and safety of the occupants is protected. These simple steps outline the process of a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR retrofit from start to finish.
| Step 1 | When a Pepco customer in Maryland contacts you to discuss upgrading their home’s energy efficiency, discuss their concerns and schedule a Home Energy Assessment. |
|---|---|
| Step 2 | Complete the comprehensive Home Energy Assessment at the Pepco customer’s home. The assessment includes a complete visual inspection, diagnostic tests and installation of several simple, energy-saving measures such as energy-efficient lighting and efficient-flow showerheads. |
| Step 3 | After completing the assessment, provide the Pepco customer with a Home Energy Assessment Report that details the findings and recommendations for improvements. In the report, you will include any applicable rebates available from Pepco and estimated energy savings. |
| Step 4 | Your Pepco customer then decides which improvements to install and you perform the work. Possible energy efficiency improvements include:
|
| Step 5 | Test the end result for efficiency, and address any air quality or safety issues immediately. |
| Step 6 | Within 30 days of the installation, submit the rebate application on behalf of your Pepco customer. |
