Steps
Pull the current requirement set from energystar.gov/products/energy_star_home_upgrade — the program bundles six high-impact upgrades: ENERGY STAR heat pump (HVAC), heat pump water heater, smart thermostat, ENERGY STAR windows, a well-insulated/air-sealed attic, and electric-ready wiring/panel improvements.
Confirm current heat-pump certification criteria against the latest ENERGY STAR Heat Pump specification version (v6.2 as of 2026), since central-AC-only ENERGY STAR certification for new models ended February 1, 2026 as the program shifted focus to heat pumps.
Use the ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade Service Provider Partnership page to confirm your business's eligibility/enrollment status if you want to market the bundle under the ENERGY STAR name.
Document the insulation/air-sealing scope against ENERGY STAR's home-sealing guidance rather than treating it as a standalone measure — the program credits attic work as one of six bundled upgrades, not an independently certifiable item.
Known gotchas
The six-upgrade bundle is marketed as a package; verify current program rules before assuming partial completion (e.g., insulation only) qualifies for any ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade branding/claim.
Heat pump spec versions change yearly (v6.2 in 2026), and older units meeting a prior spec version may no longer qualify — confirm the currently in-force spec version, not a remembered one.
