In addition to the huge Federal Tax Credits being offered this year, we are now offering 0% financing for approved energy-efficient home improvements. And to make it even more irresistible, Jackson EMC is offering rebates up to $400 on the Right Choice Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Audit so that you can determine how best to prioritize the upgrades.
A Right Choice-certified technician will come to your home and use state-of-the-art equipment to determine the quality of your insulation and air sealing. They'll do a full analysis of your home's energy performance, including measuring air infiltration, checking supply and return air flows, determining humidity/temperature and more, as well as check your heating and cooling system's performance.

In the time it takes to have dinner and watch your favorite movie, the high tech audit is complete in about two to four hours.
Research shows that many home inspections often cost from $250 to $750 and can take as long as six hours to complete. Our audit costs average $450 for the heating and cooling system and the home performance analysis. Homes with multiple systems will incur additional fees for each system.
Jackson EMC members can receive rebates to offset a portion of these costs.

To qualify, you must be a member in good standing, and meet regular financing standards, which include income and credit rating.

The contractors who will make the improvements are part of the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® network. Qualifying improvements include ENERGY STAR® qualified heat pumps and water heaters, weatherization and duct system improvements.
If approved, your monthly loan payments will appear on your JEMC electric bill as HomePlus Loan. After your Audit, you may also qualify for Jackson EMC rebates.
Call 1-866-562-8556 to schedule your Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Audit to get started.
