What is a Net Zero Home?
1. Insulate and Air Seal Your Home
Good insulation and professional air sealing can reduce your heating and cooling needs by up to 30%. This is your first and most crucial step—it’s like putting on a winter coat before turning up the heat.
2. Upgrade to High-Efficiency Heat Pumps
Ditch the outdated furnace. Heat pumps are the modern solution, using three times less electricity to provide the same heating and cooling. Not only will you reduce your gas usage, but you’ll also enjoy a quieter, more consistent indoor climate.
3. Install Solar Panels with Net Metering
Your solar system will generate clean, renewable electricity during the day. Thanks to net metering, you can send excess energy back to the grid and receive energy credits. At night or on cloudy days, you simply draw from these credits—keeping your home running smoothly year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I start retrofits before applying?
