Home Energy Performance / Weatherization & Energy Efficiency Incentives

How it works

NHSaves says its Home Energy Performance program is a comprehensive, whole-house approach to improving energy efficiency and comfort at home. The weatherization page explains that participants can receive incentives and technical support through the utility partners.

Amounts and financing

The official page says the standard Home Energy Performance program covers up to 75% of project costs, up to $6,000. It also says that if you participate in the program, a 2% APR home energy efficiency improvement loan is available.

What the work can include

The page identifies weatherization and energy-efficiency improvements generally, and the broader NHSaves materials describe the program as part of a wider package of weatherization measures, efficiency upgrades, and appliance or equipment work. The weatherization page does not provide a detailed measure list in the excerpt I found, so I am not adding one here.

How to apply

The page says homeowners can see if they qualify through NHSaves. It also says applicants need their home’s conditioned square footage and one year of heating fuel usage history.

Why this is relevant to home hardening

This is mainly an energy-efficiency program, not a wildfire mitigation grant. I am including it because it is a current statewide home-improvement incentive run by the utilities, and weatherization can sometimes overlap with home resilience work.
