Here's how to get a rebate for an energy efficiency upgrade at your home: 1) Choose a SavingsCentral Trade Ally listed here on this web site and get quotes for the installation of energy efficient equipment. 2) Get a rebate form here or from your Trade Ally. Fill it out completely and mail it to the address on the form. 3) Allow four to six weeks to receive your rebate check in the mail. It's that easy.

Electric
The Home Energy SavingsCentral Program offers rebates of up to $600 on energy efficient equipment. This is for residential electric customers who upgrade their cooling systems with specific types of energy efficient equipment, such as central air conditioners, central air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, and programmable thermostats. Refer to the rebate form for rebate levels or see the table below. (We consider a ductless split system to be a central air conditioner, so these are eligible if they meet the energy efficiency requirements.)

You must use a SavingsCentral Trade Ally to qualify for SavingsCentral rebates. Residential Trade Allies are listed here. Please use this list to get quotes for the installation of energy efficient equipment at your home.

Central Air Conditioner	SEER >= 15 EER >= 12.5	$400

*To get the rebate for a programmable thermostat, it must be installed by a Trade Ally and it must be installed as part of a central heating or cooling system in your home.

Home Sealing

An online energy audit for your home. This home Energy Saver^TM calculator helps consumers identify the best ways to save energy in their homes, and find the resources to make the savings happen. This calculator was the first Internet-based tool for calculating energy use in residential buildings. Since each home is unique, an in-home audit by a BPI-certified contractor is the best way to find ways to save. But this calculator has proven to be helpful for many users. Individual results will vary. The project has been sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, as part of the national ENERGY STAR Program for improving energy efficiency in homes, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's PATH program, and other agencies and cooperatives.
