The Qualified Contractor Network (QCN) will become a statewide list of residential contractors qualified to work on IRA home energy rebate projects. Contractors must be members of the QCN to work on these projects. We are seeking:

  • Electricians
  • Plumbers
  • HVAC/heat pump technicians
  • Home insulators and air sealers
  • Home energy auditors

Register on Zoom and include questions for the Commerce team to answer during the webinar. The webinar recording and presentation will be provided to registrants afterward.

This webinar is tailored for individual contractors, companies that employ residential contractors, unions that work with residential contractors, community-based organizations interested in supporting this work, and utilities that have similar rebates and programs with contractors.
