Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I get questions all the time on utility company rebates. Here is a quick primer to help navigate the landscape as it exists in November 2017 for the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro region.
PSNC Rebates:
- This one is easy to decipher. The rebate is $150 if you install a 90% or higher AFUE efficiency furnace. This rebate applies whether you upgrade from an 80% or lower AFUE heating system or if you are replacing an existing 90%+ furnace for another 90%+ furnace.
Duke / Duke – Progress Rebates:
- Efficiency rebates are lumped into two categories:
- 15-16 SEER are eligible for $300
- 17+ SEER are eligible for $400
- Eligible system (see above sub-bullets) can be combined with an approved list of “smart” thermostats to convey an additional $125 rebate. This list includes the frequently used Honeywell Lyric WiFi, Honeywell 8000 WiFi and Ecobee.
- $75 “quality install” rebate for eligible systems.
The above is always subject to change and I would refer to the utility company websites for more details, but this should help demystify some of the eligible requirements.
Cheers!
