In-Home Energy Evaluation
Southwest Tennessee Electric and TVA are making it easier than ever to become energy efficient while also saving money. With the new In-Home Energy Evaluation Program, you can reduce your power usage and receive a cash incentive or financing assistance for installing home energy improvements. The recommended energy-related home improvements you make are eligible for reimbursement of 50 percent of the installation cost, with a limit of $500, or for convenient financing.
Here’s How it Works
Contact your local Southwest Tennessee Electric office or call 1.800.772.0472 to arrange for an in-home energy evaluation by a TVA-certified evaluator. There is a $150 fee for the evaluation.
The evaluator reviews your home and creates a report outlining the potential energy-efficiency modifications and available cash incentives or financing.
Modifications must be made by a member of the TVA Quality Contractor Network, except for self-installed insulation. Click here for a list of qualified contractors.
All home improvements must be completed within 90 days. Once the work is finished, it will be inspected to ensure that everything is installed properly to maximize savings.
After the inspection, you submit receipts for the completed work to be eligible for the cash incentive. For financing, your contractor will be paid directly upon successful completion of the inspection.

Participants are encouraged to complete as many recommendations as they choose. Southwest Tennessee Electric will provide the following incentives to members:
