Existing Multifamily

Opportunities for retrofit projects

Energy Trust helps multifamily property owners reduce the cost of energy-efficiency projects by offering cash incentives to contractors or their customers for completing projects, such as new high-efficiency heat pumps, gas furnaces, insulation and windows. We also provide free energy-efficient fixtures, practical technical and financial advice, and assistance with obtaining applicable state business energy tax credits. We define multifamily property as a complex with five or more units; single duplex, triplex and fourplex properties are considered small multifamily properties. Multifamily properties can be renter- or owner-occupied (such as condominiums).

If you are bidding on a project for an existing multifamily property, we encourage you to contact us as early as possible. We may be able to help you identify and prioritize the most cost-effective measures available to your client.

When your company is retrofitting an existing property, please note that customers must pre-apply for cash incentives and tax credits, and projects must be pre-approved by Energy Trust before work begins.
