Plan incentives before work begins

Incentives can change project timing, evidence and contractor requirements. BetterPowered helps owners identify questions and organize records, while the program or tax authority makes eligibility and payment decisions.

Planning coverage

Online preliminary planning is available for Florida properties.

Contractor matching depends on trade, county, scope and availability.

Verify the current program owner and date

Record the utility, agency or tax authority, current rule page and date checked. Do not treat an old article, contractor statement or estimated amount as final approval.

Confirm preapproval and sequencing

Some programs require steps before purchase or installation. Confirm the eligible measure, equipment requirements, contractor rules, inspection, reservation and application deadline before work begins.

Keep incentives separate from guaranteed project economics

A planning estimate is not an award. Funding, eligibility, tax treatment and processing remain with the applicable authority and can change.
