Before you get started

CenterPoint Energy highly recommends getting a Home Energy Squad visit to learn what energy efficiency upgrades are right for you before you move forward with a major home improvement project. However, this is not required to receive a rebate. 

Schedule Home Energy Squad visit​

Step 1: Contact a Re​bate Eligible Installer

To qualify for a CenterPoint Energy rebate, your upgrade project must be completed by a Rebate Eligible Installer. We recommend you get multiple bids before deciding which installer you will work with.

St​​​​ep 2: Complete a qualifying upgrade project

To qualify for a CenterPoint Energy rebate, your upgrade project must be completed by a Rebate Eligible Installer.

Qualifying attic weatherization projects:

  • Must include air sealing of all accessible attic air leaks. No rebate will be issued for attic upgrade projects that do not include sealing of all accessible attic air leaks.​
  • Must include pre and post blower door testing.
  • May also include attic insulation improved from a pre-existing R-value of R-30 or lower to a post R-value of R-49 or higher. No rebate will be issued for attic-insulation-only upgrade projects.

Qualifying wall insulation projects:

  • Are available only for homes improved from an insulation level of R-5 or less to a level of R-11 or more.
  • Must improve substantial areas of inadequately insulated exterior wall space.
  • Attic knee walls are excluded from this portion of the rebate program.

Rebate application forms are available from your Rebate Eligible Installer.

Step 3: Submit application and receive rebate
  • Your Rebate Eligible Installer will submit your rebate application (including electronic copy of the dated invoice) through our online rebate processing system by ​​December 31. 
  • We’ll notify you when the rebate application has been submitted and again when payment is approved. Note: providing your installer with your email address allows for faster notification.
  • Receive your rebate check within eight weeks of when we get the completed rebate application.​
