A scheduled inspection, at the customer’s convenience, will consist of a walk-though in the customer’s home and should only take about 10 minutes.
Program Funding
Program funding is limited. Incentives are paid directly to the participating contractor. Most measures may be provided at low or no cost as a result of incentives received; however, all work to be performed by contractor is at the customer’s discretion.
