Commercial Energy Efficiency Programs
Proposed Future Programs
Commercial Duct Sealing and Testing Program: Promotes testing and general repair of poorly
performing duct and ADS system in commercial facilities. Such systems include air handlers, return
and supply plenums, and any connecting ducts. Participants would be provided an incentive for
sealing ducts in existing buildings using aerosol sealant, mastic, or foil tape with an acrylic adhesive.
Commercial Re-commissioning Program: Offers building owners a systematic process for
evaluating a structure's major energy-consuming systems and identifying opportunities to optimize
equipment operation.
Commercial Refrigeration: Designed to help customers reduce electric strip heater usage and
anti-sweat heater consumption in refrigeration equipment. The program applies to customers who
are retrofitting or replacing existing refrigeration equipment or installing new refrigeration equipment.
Participants can earn an incentive per kilowatt (kW) saved from the licensed contractor who installs
the system.
Commercial Energy Audit Program: An auditor will perform an on-site energy audit, with the
participant receiving a written report showing the projected energy and cost savings that could be
anticipated from implementation of identified options. The full price of the audit will be refunded to
participants once they provide adequate documentation of implementing measures or participation in
a Company EE program that exceeds the cost of the audit.
Residential Energy Efficiency Programs
Proposed Future Programs
Heat Pump Upgrade Program: Allows participants to upgrade their heat pump(s) from older,
less efficient heat pump(s) to more efficient units. Participants receive a one-time incentive of
approximately $200 for each upgraded unit.
Residential Heat Pump Tune-Up Program: Allows participants to have their existing heat
pumps tuned up by a professional HVAC service technician to optimize performance for a one
time incentive of approximately $100 per unit to help offset the cost of the tune-up.
Residential Duct Sealing and Testing Program: An auditor will perform an on-site detailed
review of a customer’s home and energy consumption with specific emphasis on EE measures
with pre-rebate payback periods of three years or less. Participant will receive a written report.
Full audit price will be refunded to the customer upon adequate documentation of
implementing EE improvements or participation in a Company EE program that exceeds the
cost of the audit.
