Project Budget: Up to $3,000,000 in total funds, multiple contracts awarded

This project’s aim is to reduce energy costs and improve comfort in low-income households by converting primary residential heat from heating oil, natural gas, propane or wood to an electric cold climate appropriate heat pump.
The selected contractor(s) will be responsible for managing all aspects of the installation for the assigned households including travel, equipment selection, purchase, and delivery, balance of systems, labor, clean up and end of project reporting to Southeast Conference in accordance with the requirements outlined in this RFP and necessary for grant reporting. The households receiving heat pump assistance will be pre-screened for eligibility and a preliminary energy assessment will be conducted by Alaska Heat Smart, the project’s implementation partner, prior to the assignment of a contractor. The contractor(s) selected will receive the grant money directly from SEC for these assigned low-income installations, instead of the grant being a reimbursed award to the homeowners as it is for middle and high income homes as part of the ACES program.
