There is currently no partnership program available for HVAC contractors; however, there are other ways for them to get involved with ENERGY STAR.

If available in their area, contractors can participate in a local Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program, which promotes a comprehensive energy efficiency approach to homes. Participation in this program allows contractors to utilize unique marketing tools and resources to promote their services. Contractors should contact regional sponsors in their area for more information on how to participate.   Learn more.

HVAC contractors may also want to become credentialed through an EPA recognized HVAC Quality Installation Training and Oversight Organization. Only credentialed HVAC contractors can install HVAC equipment in ENERGY STAR homes. HVAC contractors should contact a recognized organization for information on the credentialing process.

Additionally, ENERGY STAR provides educational and marketing materials to help contractors explain the benefits of recommended practices such as proper HVAC equipment installation and maintenance, duct sealing, air sealing, and proper insulation installation to homeowners. HVAC contractors, along with other home improvement contractors, insulators, and air sealing companies, who are ready to learn and apply advanced techniques recommended by ENERGY STAR have the opportunity to sell more services, improve customer satisfaction, and make homes significantly more energy-efficient and comfortable.
