The Energize Delaware program has updated its COM. This document contains guidelines that Participating Contractors are highly encouraged to follow and will be updated as needed. Access the COM in the Participating Contractor resources portal here. 

Below are some of changes that have been incorporated into this latest version:

• Attics with an R-value less than R-20 must be air sealed and insulated for all projects.
• Any time insulation is offered, air sealing must be accompanied and completed (or already be present and completed), even if the air sealing will not qualify for a prescriptive program rebate.
• Any projects that have space-conditioning rebates reserved must have a minimum of R-20 already existing in the attic. This must be prior to processing and approval of any rebates for space-conditioning appliances, including A/C units, mini-split systems, heat pumps, furnaces and boiler systems.
• The number of multi-split rebates available on a project is based on the number of condensers. (The energy-saving component is the compressor.) Mini-split rebates per project are capped at $3,000; once that limit is met, no further rebates can be reserved.
• If no direct-install measures are installed in a home, a brief explanation must be included in the Comprehensive Energy Assessment.
• The Contractor Scorecard is intended to provide feedback to potential customers and Participating Contractors regarding the quality and timeliness of projects submitted to the program.
• Findings during Energize Delaware Field-Quality Inspections will be documented and reflected on the web-based Contractor Scorecard.
