Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®
Learn how to increase the comfort of your home* and reduce energy costs with the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program, available to Maryland residential customers of Potomac Edison for a fee of $100 (a $400 value).

This program will help you identify energy efficiency improvements that may qualify you for 50 percent of the costs — or up to $2,500** — to cover energy-saving home improvements, including:
- Air sealing
- Duct sealing

Step 1: Get a Home Performance Audit
Get a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® audit performed by a Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified expert who will work with you one-on-one to identify energy-saving improvements.

The home energy expert also may install energy-efficient products in your home, including:
- Up to 12 compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
- 9W LED bulb
- Kitchen faucet aerators

Step 2: Make Recommended Energy-Saving Improvements

Improvements must be made by a participating contractor enrolled in the program. Find a home energy expert in your neighborhood.
Step 3: Receive Additional Savings
The final step of the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program is to schedule a test out audit with a participating home performance contractor. Having this final audit performed will enable you to receive an incentive of up to 50 percent — or up to $2,500** — toward the purchase of the following energy-saving home improvements:
- Air sealing
- Duct sealing
- Insulation
- **You may qualify for up to $2,500 if duct sealing is installed as an improvement, otherwise the maximum per home is $2,000.
