Southeast Conference (SEC) is seeking proposals from qualified local contractors to provide and install residential energy-efficient heat pump systems, as part of the ‘Accelerating Clean Energy Saving (ACES)’ Climate Pollution Reduction Grant awarded to SEC by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This project’s aim is to reduce energy costs and improve comfort in low-income households by converting primary residential heat from heating oil, natural gas, propane or wood to an electric cold climate appropriate heat pump.
This addendum clarifies the participation and reimbursement of electrical contractors under the ACES low-income program. Qualifying electrical contractors who respond to this RFP may be eligible to participate in direct-pay reimbursement arrangements when a household’s heat pump installation cost falls below the $8,500 low-income program cap (#2 below). In these cases, remaining available funds may be allocated, on a case-by-case basis and with SEC approval, to cover eligible electrical scope required to complete the installation.
