Residential Rebates & Services

 

Multi-Family Rebates
Rebates for qualified energy-efficient improvements in apartment dwelling units and in the common areas of apartment and condominium complexes, and common areas of mobile home parks.

Air Conditioner Tune-Ups
Save energy and money this summer with a check-up on your central air conditioner. Home cooling and heating can be 50% of your energy use. So make sure your system is running efficiently. Call 800-289-2440 to find a contractor in your area.

Summer Saver Program
Earn a credit on your utility bill and help reduce regional demand for electricity by cycling your central A/C unit “on and off” for a few hours on selected hot summer days. You choose your level of participation so you can find the cycling option that fits your life and comfort level.

Affordable Financing for Home Improvements
If you’re looking to make energy-efficient home improvements, you may want to consider the “Energy Loan” from Fannie Mae. This loan was developed to provide homeowners with an unsecured financing option – from $2,500 to $20,000 – for specified energy-efficient home improvements.

Residential Lighting Program
Your home’s lighting can account for as much as 20 percent of your annual energy costs. To help cut down your energy use, consider installing energy-efficient light bulbs and fixtures. Special discount prices on specific ENERGY STAR^® labeled lighting products are periodically available at participating retailers throughout the year. For more information or for updates on discounted lighting products call 1-800-644-6133.
