Home Performance Rebates

You must participate in Columbia Water & Light’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program to receive the rebates listed below.

To see if this program could help you, complete the Home Energy Yardstick assessment at www.EnergyStar.gov. If you have a score of 5 or less, your home could benefit from the Home Performance program.

Watch a Home Performance video feature online about the improvements made to a newer home in Columbia.

Follow the steps outlined in Columbia Water & Light’s Steps for Participating in the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program. You must work with one of our approved contractors to determine your rebate eligibility. Before the rebates are issued both a post assessment test must be done by the Certified Home Performance Contractors and a final inspection by a Columbia Water & Light staff member.
