How it works

Step 1: Before you begin

Determine if you qualify for the program.

Then, find a contractor registered with the program to properly size and install your heat pump. Your contractor can also submit the HomeEnergySaver application forms on your behalf.

This program is open to all contractors who meet the program requirements. If you are working with a contractor who is not yet registered with the program, they can reach out to the program team at hespcontractors@summerhill.com to join.


Step 2: Complete the pre-installation form

Before you install your heat pump, let us know you are interested in receiving an incentive by completing the pre-installation form. Please note that the pre-installation form will not automatically save your answers — please review the application checklist to see everything you need for a successful submission.

Submitting the pre-installation form does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Once you receive approval, you will receive instructions on how to move forward with your application.

Step 3: Install your heat pump

Work with your program-verified contractor to schedule the installation of your chosen heat pump.


Step 4: Submit your post-installation form

Let us know that you have successfully installed your heat pump within 90 days of installation. You will need to attach documentation such as your final invoice to your post-installation form. Please review the application checklist to see everything you need for a successful submission.

Applications deemed incomplete will have an opportunity to update their submission within 10 business days. Participants with successful applications will receive notice of when they can expect to receive their incentive payment.
