Builder rebates

Contractors that build residential homes utilizing high-efficiency building techniques that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR standards will qualify for a rebate of $1,000* for each home that receives the ENERGY STAR certificate. The same rebate is available for customers that build their own home. Contact an Energy Star Rater serving Florida before you start construction. The ENERGY STAR Rater will provide you with guidance on inspections and the measures required to receive ENERGY STAR certification.
