Summary:
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) energy right New Homes Plan provides incentives for all-electric, energy-efficient new homes by offering graduated rebates for new homes. Homes built at least 7% better than code qualify for the entry level of the program while those built 15% better qualify as energy right Platinum or Platinum Certified (ENERGY STAR Certified). A variety of efficiency standards must be met in order to reach the specified levels. In addition, incentives are offered for advanced water heaters installed in new homes. The energy right New Manufactured Homes Program promotes the installation of electric heat pumps in new manufactured homes. Customers that buy a qualified heat pump from a participating wholesaler can receive up to $500. Customers should contact their local utilities to see what programs are offered. |
