The programs of the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund make it easier than ever to bring energy efficiency home. And with everything from incentives to rebates, you don’t have to change the way you live to change the way you save energy. As described under each program, eligibility may depend on whether your electric distribution utility is Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) or The United Illuminating Company (UI).

Building a new home? You can build the ‘green’ home of your dreams and earn incentives for installing energy-efficient measures.

Heating and Cooling Your Home

The CEEF provides valuable incentives purchasing and installing an electric central air conditioning or electric heat pump system that meets the required energy efficiency ratings.

ENERGY STAR

Did you know that compact fluorescent bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs; yet they give off the same amount of light? ENERGY STAR-labeled light fixtures are designed to save energy and lower your monthly electric bills, without sacrificing comfort and quality.

In addition to lighting, ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances can also help you save money on your energy bills by reducing your energy consumption.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the earth’s constant temperature to provide extremely efficient heating and cooling. While standard air-source heat pumps use the outside air temperature to heat and cool a home.

Museum Partnership Program

As part of their educational and public outreach, the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund and CL&P sponsor several interactive exhibits on energy efficiency around the state.

Limited Income

This program helps limited-income homeowners (or renters) adapt energy efficiency measures in their homes.
