Rebates, Loans, & Other Incentives

You are here

  1. Member Services
  2. Rebates, Loans, & Other Incentives

H-D Electric along with our power supplier, East River Electric Power Cooperative, team up to provide a number of rebate and loan programs for our members as detailed here: 

Heat Rebate

$600 rebate on Geothermal and air to air heat pumps - rebate no more frequent that once every 10 years.  Heat pumps must be at least a 2 ton heat pump and have a minimum of a 8.5 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor). To receive rebate send in a copy of the AHRI sheet received from installer.  If you do not have an AHRI sheet H-D will help locate one.  Rebates must be submitted prior to one year after installation to be eligible.

Irrigation Automatic Restart Rebate

H-D Electric no longer offers the auto-start rebate program. We launched a new rebate program for use of third-party irrigation control systems in 2017. Commonly, these systems allow you to monitor your irrigation system(s) from your smart phone, mobile device, or desktop computer as well as receive notifications and reports. These third-party irrigation control systems are available through an irrigation dealer. 

H-D Electric will pay a one-time rebate of $750 per device for a third-party remote managed irrigation system if it meets our control requirements and is enrolled in our load management program. The third-party control system will control your irrigation system after control notification is sent from H-D's power supplier, East River Electric. This eliminates the need for H-D Electric irrigation controller equipment. Your third-party system may allow the flexibility to control your irrigation system from a Smartphone or tablet. If the third-party irrigation control system is later cancelled (within five years) and you switch back to an irrigation controlled from H-D Electric, you will need to pay to have the H-D controller reinstalled.

If you currently have an H-D Electric irrigation controlled and you want to replace that equipment with a third-party irrigation control system, please contact us to discuss the details and to find out if the third-party system qualifies for our rebate program.  

Energy Audit Incentives (Residential)

H-D Electric will provide payments of 10% of the cost of energy improvements (up to $500) made to homes that have had an energy audit completed. The improvements must be identified in the Energy Audit and the incentive will be based on the installed costs of the improvements totaling between $500 and $5000 (incentive $50-$500). Only one Energy Audit incentive payment will be made per structure. 5% interest rate loans for weatherization and/or energy efficiency improvements recommended in the Energy Audit are available through H-D Electric.

Heat Loans

ERC Loans

Interest is 5% up to $2000 for three years.  An application must be filled out and a copy of the bill showing what will be done.  Call H-D Electric for details.
