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

Whether customers select the Introductory Energy Check-Up or the Comprehensive Home Energy Audit, contractors will provide a walkthrough of their home to identify energy-saving opportunities. After the evaluation, customers will receive a personalized report containing cost-effective options and easy-to-follow energy efficiency suggestions, such as installing simple measures like LED bulbs or faucet aerators, along with suggestions for larger energy-saving measures, such as heat pump tune-ups and upgrades, duct sealing and more. There will be incentives to help customers offset the cost of installing eligible improvements.

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
