TVA EnergyRight

Tennessee Homeowners Can Save Money with Home Upgrades

Homeowners across Tennessee — especially in Knoxville and East Tennessee — may qualify for valuable rebates and incentives through programs like TVA EnergyRight and the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

These programs are designed to help homeowners:

Lower energy bills
Make energy-efficient home performance upgrades more affordable

For homeowners considering HVAC replacement, insulation upgrades, duct improvements or replacements, or Home Performance services, these incentives can potentially save hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars.

What Is TVA EnergyRight?

TVA EnergyRight is the Tennessee Valley Authority’s official residential energy efficiency program.

It helps homeowners improve efficiency and comfort through:

Rebates for qualifying HVAC and home performance upgrades
Free Home energy evaluations
Financing options
Access to TVA’s Quality Contractor Network (QCN)

The program supports a “house-as-a-system” approach — often called Home Performance or Holistic Home Performance — where HVAC, insulation, ductwork, ventilation, humidity, and airflow are treated as interconnected systems rather than separate problems.
