What programs are available in Pasco County?
Pasco County homeowners can access My Safe Florida Home ($10,000 for wind mitigation), federal tax credits (up to $2,000 for heat pumps, 30% for solar), and Duke Energy rebates ($300-$1,000 for HVAC). Pasco County also offers housing rehabilitation assistance for income-qualified residents.
Which Pasco County areas are most hurricane-vulnerable?
Western Pasco communities — Holiday, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Hudson, and coastal areas of Trinity — face the highest hurricane risk due to Gulf exposure. These areas benefit most from home hardening programs, though all Pasco homes can benefit from wind mitigation.
What cities are in Pasco County?
Pasco County includes New Port Richey, Zephyrhills, Dade City, and unincorporated areas like Trinity, Wesley Chapel, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Land O' Lakes, and Lutz (partially). All qualify for state and federal programs.
Do you serve all of Pasco County?
Yes. We serve all Pasco County communities from our Clearwater headquarters. Western Pasco (New Port Richey, Trinity, Holiday) is 15-25 minutes away. Eastern Pasco (Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills) is 35-45 minutes. Emergency service available countywide.
What's the most common home improvement needed in Pasco County?
Roof replacement and HVAC upgrades are the most common needs. Many Pasco homes built in the 1970s-1990s have aging roofs and inefficient AC systems. A combined roof + HVAC project can qualify for $10,000 (My Safe Florida Home) + $2,000 (tax credits) + $1,000 (Duke Energy) = $13,000 in savings.
