Managing home energy costs is a year-round concern for many Utah families.
Older homes, seasonal temperature swings, and rising utility prices can make energy efficiency feel complicated or financially out of reach.
ThermWise was developed to address these common challenges by making energy-saving upgrades more accessible for everyday homeowners.
ThermWise is an energy efficiency program that offers rebates and planning tools to help Utah homeowners reduce natural gas use, lower monthly energy costs, and improve home comfort.
Rather than focusing solely on large-scale renovations, the program emphasizes practical, achievable improvements that can be completed over time and within a variety of budgets.
Energy efficiency designed for real life
Energy efficiency doesn't have to be complex or disruptive.
Homeowners can begin with a single upgrade and add additional improvements as resources allow.
Common starting points include installing a qualifying smart thermostat, sealing noticeable air leaks, or improving insulation.
These types of upgrades can help homes retain heat during winter months and stay cooler in the summer, reducing unnecessary energy use while fitting into everyday routines.
Rebates that support everyday savings*
ThermWise rebates are intended to help offset the upfront cost of energy-efficient equipment and weatherization improvements.
Depending on eligibility requirements, rebates may be available for:
- Smart thermostats
- High-efficiency gas furnaces and boilers
- Tankless and high-efficiency water heaters
- Insulation and air-sealing improvements
- Windows and other weatherization measures
By reducing out-of-pocket costs, ThermWise helps make energy-efficient choices more attainable for Utahns.
Home Energy Plans help homeowners prioritize.
For homeowners who are unsure where to start, ThermWise offers Home Energy Plan services.
These personalized plans provide an overview of how a home uses energy and identifies opportunities for improvement based on the home's characteristics and typical usage patterns.
A Home Energy Plan helps remove guesswork by guiding homeowners toward upgrades that align with their needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Accommodating both new and existing homes
ThermWise supports energy efficiency in both new construction and existing homes throughout Utah.
Homeowners building new homes may be able to work with builders to incorporate energy-efficient equipment from the outset, while those in older homes can explore rebates for upgrades that improve comfort and performance.
Because eligibility and requirements vary by project, homeowners are encouraged to review program guidelines before beginning any work.
Enhanced comfort paired with everyday savings
While lower energy costs are a primary goal, efficiency upgrades can also enhance overall comfort. Improved insulation and modern heating systems can reduce drafts, maintain more consistent indoor temperatures, and improve comfort during Utah's colder months.
For many families, these comfort improvements are noticeable soon after upgrades are completed.
