Selecting a Contractor

Once you have completed the audit and have identified installation measures from the audit report, the CPS Energy Savers Program can help you find reliable and approved contractors that you can trust to make the most of your home energy upgrade. Your installation contractor must also be approved by EFS for your installation to be eligible for financing.
