Who files it, and how the money reaches you
The program administers it. This one starts with the program rather than with a contractor. They run the intake, the income check and the scoping, then you choose who does the work.
Contact Sustainable Connections or Opportunity Council — they hold the Whatcom County allocations and decide the per-household amount. Panel and wiring upgrades needed to support new electric equipment are an eligible category, which matters in older Bellingham homes with 100-amp service.
What it stacks with
Programs that can sit on top of this one, each with its own conditions.
Stacking is a claim about program terms, not arithmetic. We build totals from the programs that have confirmed they combine, and quote anything unconfirmed as a separate line so you are never counting on a number twice.
