City of Charleston - CharlestonWISE Program

CharlestonWISE is an energy efficiency program for homeowners within the City of Charleston.

The program offers rebates on completed home performance improvements for qualified residential customers on top of rebates available from local utility companies. Home performance improvements must be performed by a participating contractor. CharlestonWISE is supported by partnerships with the City of Charleston, Abundant Power, and the Sustainability Institute. This program is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Better Buildings Program. The DOE has awarded over $500 million in federal funds to more than 40 states, local governments, and organizations to administer local programs targeting a variety of building types. Combined, these local programs are expected to improve the efficiency of more than 170,000 buildings through 2013 and save up to $65 million in energy costs annually.
