Rebate Program

The Rebate Program offers financial incentives to customers who invest in energy-efficient appliances or home improvements. By purchasing eligible products or implementing energy-saving measures, members can receive rebates, helping to offset the upfront costs.

Energy Efficiency Savings

United Electric Cooperative members have received more than $4.7 million in TCS rebates since they were introduced in 2008. Energy demand savings from GSHP and Dual Fuel Heat Pump installations exceed 4 megawatts compared to standard efficiency electric heating options. More than 6,654 tons of high-efficiency heating and cooling have been installed.
