For Lacey Homeowners
Thurston Energy will use the City of Lacey EECBG funds to reach the residents of Lacey and help their homes become more energy efficient. Our goal is to help at least 225 homes in Lacey become more energy efficient before the funds run out.
How You Can Get on the Pathway to Savings!
Thurston Energy wants to help City of Lacey residents take advantage of this great opportunity to save energy and save money. As part of this project, Thurston Energy has been authorized by the City of Lacey to refund the cost of an energy use evaluation to any resident of Lacey that makes $950 in pre-tax upgrades to a property, OR makes $800 in pre-tax upgrades plus purchases 100% Green Power through PSE. The funds are available now, so we will be encouraging Lacey residents to get on the pathway today!
The process is easy, just 1 – 2 – 3!
1. Get your HomePLUSTM Energy Assessment
Any single-family home within the city limits of Lacey is eligible, regardless of if you are the owner/occupant, property owner or renter. The comprehensive evaluation costs only $95 to residents. For more information about what the evaluation entails and to sign up, click here.
2. Make your Efficiency Upgrades
When your energy evaluation is complete, Thurston Energy can get you on the pathway to Savings. When you make qualifying upgrades, you will be eligible to get a rebate from Thurston Energy. Qualifying upgrades include:
- Air sealing/air infiltration repair
- Insulation upgrades (attic/ceiling, floor, wall, basement/crawlspace
- Duct sealing and insulation
- Upgrading doors & windows to energy efficient models (includes window films, insulating curtains & blinds, and storm windows)
- Water heater upgrades
- HVAC, heating and cooling system upgrades
- Major appliance upgrades to EnergyStar models (refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer/dryer)
- Heat source conversion (e.g., from oil heat to electric heat pump)
- Upgrading water fixtures to high-efficiency showerheads & toilets, installing faucet aerators, repairing water leaks
Efficiency upgrades performed either by the resident (DIY) or by a contractor are eligible, and must be completed within 120 days of an energy evaluation (or before July 31, 2012) in order to qualify. If an upgrade you plan on doing is not on this list, please contact us to find out if it will qualify.
3. Claim Your Rebate
Once your upgrades have been completed, you should be eligible for your $95 rebate. You must fulfill one of the two following criteria to be eligible:
- Make at least $950 worth of pre-tax, pre-utility rebate upgrades to your home (see qualifying upgrades in the list above) OR
- Make at least $800 worth of pre-tax, pre-utility rebate upgrades to your home PLUS purchase 100% Green Power from Puget Sound Energy
You must also fill out a rebate form and return a signed copy to Thurston Energy for processing. You can download a copy of the rebate form here, or contact us to get a copy of the form. Please make sure you follow all the directions on the form. Once we process your rebate form, we will issue you a check that you’ll receive in the mail. It’s that easy!
