Home Uplift

 

TVA’s EnergyRight Home Uplift program achieved a significant milestone this year, upgrading its 6,000th home. 

 

Since 2018, Home Uplift has been changing lives. Home Uplift provides participating homeowners an average of $10,000 each in free home energy upgrades, including HVAC units, attic and wall insulation, duct sealing, electric water heaters and more. 

 

Without the help of community partner and local power company partners, TVA’s Home Uplift program would not be possible.
