Program details
How it works
Home Energy Solutions is an authorized-contractor visit that evaluates a home’s energy performance and provides on-the-spot improvements during the appointment. The Essex page says the contractor also gives the homeowner a Home Energy Solutions Assessment report, a Home Energy Score, and a Home Energy Guide with tips for additional savings.
What the service covers
The official Essex page says the visit can identify and address leaky doors, windows, ductwork, and insulation problems. It does not list a full technical scope on the page, but it clearly positions the service as a home-efficiency tune-up with immediate fixes and follow-up recommendations.
Timing and deadlines
Essex states that if you schedule a Home Energy Solutions assessment by March 31, 2026 and complete the visit by April 30, 2026, your copay is waived.
Homeowner takeaway
This is not a disaster-specific grant or wildfire-only hardening program. It is a utility-sponsored home-improvement service that can indirectly support resilience by reducing drafts and improving building envelope performance.
