EnergyWorks empowers homeowners to save energy and money through energy efficient home improvements. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, EnergyWorks brings together all available incentives, tax credits and low interest financing with certified building analysts and qualified contractors for energy efficient home improvements.

Now, with the EnergyWorks Select Partnership, home energy improvements for your neighborhood or membership organization are even easier to complete. Through the EnergyWorks Select Partnership, your members, neighbors and/or congregants can access energy efficient improvement discounts beginning with the energy assessment.  If your neighborhood association, homeowners association, township, civic, faith-based or other community-based group represents at least 20 homeowners, you are eligible for an EnergyWorks Select Partnership.

Here’s how it works …

Step 1: Get the Word Out

• Schedule an EnergyWorks presentation – An EnergyWorks representative will facilitate a comprehensive presentation, video demonstration and Q&A with your group.
• We will provide outreach materials including email blasts, news articles, and flyers for you to distribute and post.  We’ll even run a contest for your members, where the member who saves the most energy, their home energy assessment is FREE!
• Contact EnergyWorks Communication & Outreach Coordinator Tanya T. Morris at 215-609-1056 or TanyaM@ecasavesenrgy.org  to schedule an EnergyWorks Partnership presentation.

Step 2: Selecting a Building Analyst and Contractor

• All EnergyWorks building analysts and contractors are certified and vetted. However, through the EnergyWorks Select Partnership, you get to choose from the best of the best.  You may also be able to negotiate a better price because of the number of homeowners participating and the volume of work your organization brings to the building analyst and contractors.  The typical process for a potential EnergyWorks customer would involve collecting bids from the building analyst and selecting a contractor individually. However, through the EnergyWorks Select Partnership you have simplified the process for your members by choosing one building analyst and one contractor for your group.

Step 3: Paying for Energy Efficient Home Improvements

• You can pay for your energy efficient home improvements by cash, check or credit card. We also provide very low interest financing options through Keystone HELP. Apply online at www.keystonehelp.com or call (888) 232-3477. We’ll have a fast approval and pay the contractor after your quality assurance check is done and the work is completed to your satisfaction.  Interest rates are as low as 0.99%!

Step 4: Quality Assurance

• After the energy efficient home improvements are complete, we will schedule final inspections of each home to ensure that the improvements meet EnergyWorks specifications. The building analyst or GC will contact an EnergyWorks quality assurance representative to schedule the appointments. 

That’s it.  You’ve connected your group to a valuable service that will help them save money, live more comfortably, add value to their homes and help the environment!
