To conduct the Comprehensive Home Energy Audit, contractors are required to hold a BPI Building Analyst or BPI Building Professional certification. All measures are required to be installed per BPI standards. Installation of insulation and air sealing measures in the Residential Home Energy Evaluation Program will require the comprehensive home audit to be eligible for rebate incentives.

Discounted training for the BPI Building Professional Certification may be available for program participating contractors. Details will be shared during program orientation.

Hear what customers are saying: "I felt like the program was beneficial because it provided a little relief. Updating anything in the house can get very expensive, so these programs are a great way to allow people to make the appropriate updates. I felt the program was easy to participate [in] once I found out about [it]. I would recommend others to the program. In fact, I’ve already passed on information to at least two of my neighbors." - Eric, a Dominion Energy Customer
