For Home Performance with Energy Star improvements and weatherization improvements, an Austin Energy participating contractor is required to conduct a no-cost energy assessment of your home. Mobile or manufactured homes are not eligible for Home Performance with Energy Star improvements. The weatherization assistance program requires homes be appraised at $300,000 or less, be under 2,500 square feet and are greater than 10 years old.
