At tax time

Other programs

Programs worth knowing about — even if they're not our path.

If you're considering going all-electric or weatherizing your whole home, these Montgomery County programs may be a better fit than a gas tankless install. We'll tell you honestly if they are.

Pepco · Up to $1,600

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR

BGE, Pepco, and Delmarva Power run a statewide electrification program offering up to $15,000 for homeowners switching from fossil fuels to heat pumps (HVAC or water heater). Requires energy audit first.

MD · Low-income households
