Electrifying Change in Asheville-Buncombe: A New Program for Homeowners

Asheville-Buncombe is buzzing with excitement as the community gears up for a greener future with the introduction of the new Home Energy Navigator Program. This initiative is set to be a game-changer for homeowners looking to transition to cleaner and more energy-efficient living. Ready to explore options like solar energy, heat pumps, and even induction cooking? Well, you’re in luck!

Personalized Support for Homeowners

The Home Energy Navigator Program offers free consultations tailored just for you! This service is perfect for homeowners who want to make informed decisions about electrifying their homes but may feel overwhelmed by all the information out there. It’s like having a personal guide right by your side, helping you navigate the exciting world of home electrification.

The journey begins with a friendly 30-minute virtual consultation where a specialized Navigator will listen to your needs and goals. It’s a great way to assess what’s best for your home and family. During this initial chat, you’ll get the scoop on the various financial incentives available, and the Navigator will even evaluate how ready your home is for electrification.

The Path to Electrification Made Easy

After your initial conversation, the Navigator will put together a preliminary report for you. This customized document will break down estimated costs, rebates, potential energy savings, and even payoff times and return on investment using a nifty tool called the RMI Green Upgrade Calculator. It’s a no-fuss way to understand how you can make the leap into clean energy.

Now, while this program won’t provide you with final proposals, it will certainly streamline the decision-making process. Plus, it helps connect you to local contractors who are well-equipped to handle your electrification projects. The program not only empowers homeowners, but also gives contractors access to informed leads, making it a win-win situation for everyone involved.

A Resource for Ongoing Support

The Home Energy Navigator Program is not just a one-time consultation service. It’s designed to offer ongoing assistance throughout the electrification journey. This includes guiding you through various incentive opportunities, rebates, and financing options to make the transition smoother and more affordable for you.

Bringing the Community Together

This initiative is part of a larger push that kicked off last year to support Asheville and Buncombe County residents in their quest for clean energy solutions. And there’s more on the way! Community events and engagement activities are planned to raise awareness at all levels – city, county, and neighborhood. It’s a chance for everyone to join the electrification movement and learn how to make their homes more sustainable.

Curious about how to get started? Homeowners can book their virtual consultation starting February 3 through the Electrify Asheville-Buncombe website or reach out via email. Additionally, there’s an online platform available for 24/7 access to electrification information and local contractors. Perfect for those late-night brainstorming sessions!
