Utility Rebate Programs in Maryland

If you're spending too much on your energy bills, receiving an energy audit, insulation installation, or air sealing service for your home can help reduce costs and increase efficiency. Once you have an audit completed, we will identify if you qualify for a rebate.

After the work is finished, we will complete the submission of the paperwork to the utility program manager, and you’ll receive your check from the utility company in about 8-10 weeks.

In addition to performing your energy audit with state-of-the-art equipment, creating a computer analysis, and proposing energy upgrades to improve your efficiency and comfort, we will also assist you in completing any paperwork that is required for you to receive your rebate or incentive money.

The State of Maryland is offering rebates on energy audits and improvement work through EmPOWER MD. With these incentives, you’ll pay just $100 for a full energy audit and receive 50% back on all energy efficiency improvements, up to $2,000. In addition, ESG can secure low-interest financing that makes it cost-effective to retrofit your home to improve its efficiency and comfort. Learn more.
