The Home Energy Improvement Program was approved by the N.C. Utilities Commission on April 30, 2009.

Looking for ways to save money on your energy bills? With Progress Energy’s new Home Energy Improvement Program, you can get cash rebates to help you make your home more energy efficient. The increase in energy savings you’ll gain will reduce your energy bills for years to come. Plus, by improving your home’s efficiency, you’ll increase its overall comfort, add to its value and, because you’ll be using less energy, you’ll also be helping the environment.
