How FOCUS ON ENERGY Can Help You Save

North Twin Builders is proud to partner with Focus On Energy 

to help our clients become more energy-efficient!

Focus On Energy has been working with Wisconsin residents since 2001, achieving international recognition for its efforts. The program has worked with over 2.7 million households in the state, helping homes and businesses save $730 million dollars! The following is a list of programs and ways that Focus On Energy can help your household become more energy-efficient. Keep in mind the following programs may have restrictions depending on the fuel sources you have within your home.

1) Home Performance With Energy Star Program

– Schedule a home energy assessment to determine how much energy your home is using. Following the recommendations given, you can add value to your home, reduce your energy bills by up to 20%, and improve the comfort of your home. The best part – this program takes household income into consideration, making energy-efficiency attainable for everyone!

2) Express Energy Efficiency Program

– Focus On Energy will do a walk through your home and explain ways to reduce your energy use, as well as installing free products, such as energy-efficient light bulbs or shower heads. This 45 minute appointment will help you save money right away!

3) Lighting And Appliance Program

– Did you know that Energy Star washers can use 35% less water and 20% less energy than older models? Or that your lights make up 20% of your electric bill? This program can help you find and take advantage of savings on Energy Star products.

4) Appliance Recycling Program 

– Don’t know what to do with that old fridge you recently replaced with an energy-efficient model? If it’s still running, call Focus On Energy and you could receive a $40 reward, along with the reassurance that your appliance will be recycled responsibly. If you haven’t replaced your old model yet, check out the Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator on the Focus on Energy website.

5) Attic Air Sealing And Insulation Cash-Back Rewards Program

– Improperly insulated attics can allow heat to escape your home. Hire a Home Performance with Energy Star Trade Ally to insulate and seal this trouble area and you could be reimbursed 75% of the cost. And we promise that you will notice the difference in your home’s air temperature and thus heating bill!

6) Residential Rewards and Enhanced Rewards Program

– Combining energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning units with #5 above can save you up to 20% on your utility bills. An Energy Star furnace alone can save you as much as $400 on your electric bill in a year. As if these aren’t enough reasons to upgrade, Focus On Energy offers cash-back rewards for buying energy-efficient models!

7) Geothermal Heat Pumps Program

– If you are considering renewable energy options, this program is for you! Check the equipment specifications and you may be eligible for a $650 cash-back reward.

8) Solar Electric Systems Program

– Solar electric systems use sunlight to generate electricity, and can significantly reduce your energy usage and costs. This program rewards homeowners for their steps towards energy-efficiency with a cash-back as high as $2400.

9) Focus On Energy New Homes Programs

– By hiring a builder that partners with Focus On Energy (North Twin Builders!), you ensure that your new home will be at least 10% more efficient than building codes require. With attention to energy-efficiency throughout the design and building process, your contractor can help you increase the indoor quality of air, improve comfort, and save you money in the future on utility bills. To ensure that your home meets the efficiency requirements, a building performance consultant will conduct two separate site visits to inspect your home and perform tests. Your home will receive a Focus On Energy New Home certification, which can increase your homes long-term value and future sale potential.

And Last But Not Least…  Focus On Energy Business Incentives

– Many people in Vilas County own small businesses or rental buildings with multiple units. Focus On Energy has programs to assist businesses of all size, including energy assessments and custom options.
