MTEMC, in partnership with TVA, offers the In-Home Energy Evaluation for members who are willing to pay $150. Members can get the $150 back if they follow the energy evaluation recommendations from a certified home evaluator. You will be reimbursed 50% of the installation cost up to $500 if recommended improvements are completed within 90 days.

  • Call 1-877-490-9325 to arrange for an in-home evaluation by an MTEMC/TVA-certified evaluator.

  • Improvements must be made by a member of the Quality Contractor Network.
  • All home improvements need to be completed within 90 days. A home performance review will be completed to finalize the paperwork.
  • You will receive a credit on your electric bill after submitting your receipts for completed work.
