The two paths
Bundle path (assessment needed)
Book a home energy assessment first, do two or more eligible upgrades, then a post-upgrade assessment. Unlocks insulation, windows, air sealing and heat pump water heater rebates, plus $600 toward the assessments.
Direct path (no assessment)
Heat pumps, rooftop solar and batteries, attic insulation, smart thermostats and appliances earn rebates on their own.

Do it in this order
- Assess first. Book the EnerGuide evaluation before any bundle work starts, or those rebates are lost.
- Seal and insulate before sizing a heat pump; a tighter house needs a smaller one. See heat pump sizing.
- Get quotes for two or more bundle upgrades, and check eligible products.
- Finish with the post-upgrade assessment to release the bundle rebates.
