What to ask before you sign
Rebate eligibility often depends on utility territory, equipment model, income, installation date, pre-approval, and whether the quote separates costs clearly.
HVAC and heat pumps
- Ask whether heat pump, central AC, furnace, ductwork, or thermostat programs apply.
- Confirm SEER2, HSPF2, AFUE, AHRI certificate, and permit requirements.
- Check utility pre-approval before installation.
Insulation and air sealing
- Document attic R-value target, air sealing scope, ventilation, and old insulation removal.
- Check weatherization and income-qualified programs before signing.
- Ask for an itemized invoice that separates materials, labor, and diagnostic work.
Windows and doors
- Verify ENERGY STAR and NFRC documentation for the exact glass package.
- Ask whether the program requires whole-home energy savings modeling.
- Separate product, labor, trim, disposal, and permit line items.
Solar, battery, and electrification
- Confirm state, utility, SREC, battery, net billing, and property tax rules.
- Ask whether incentive assumptions are guaranteed, estimated, or excluded.
- Verify interconnection and rebate approval timing before installation.

Compare quotes with rebate assumptions in writing
The most useful quote is not always the lowest price. Ask each company to show equipment model, warranty, labor scope, permit handling, and which rebate assumptions are included.
