Summary:
Long Island Power Authority offers incentives for its residential customers to increase the energy efficiency of their homes through a variety of programs. The Cool Homes Program provides rebates for energy-efficient central air conditioning systems and air-source heat pumps. The minimum efficiency ratings for central air conditioning systems are SEER 14.5 and EER 12 (SEER 14 and EER 12 for air-source heat pumps), which qualifies the owner for a $250 per unit rebate. However, if the units have a SEER greater than or equal to 15 and an EER greater than or equal to 12.5, the rebate amount is increased to $400 per unit and to $600 per unit for systems with a minimum SEER of 16 and a minimum EER of 13. The units must be installed by a participating Cool Homes Contractor.
For a limited time period, LIPA will also be offering rebates on variable-speed pool pumps and two-speed pool pumps. This offer extends to qualified unites purchased and installed between 3/1/09 and 9/30/09. Purchase must be made from a qualified list of pool pumps provided by LIPA. Follow all procedural guidelines for submitting application.
The Geothermal Energy Wise Program provides rebates for new and replacement geothermal heat pumps. Rebate amounts for 2009 range from $200 - $1,000 per unit depending on the efficiency rating and whether the unit is new or replacing an existing geothermal system.
Additional prescriptive rebates are available for certain lighting fixtures, clothes washers, refrigerators, and dehumidifiers. The latter two are mail-in rebates while the former is an in store rebate available at participating retail establishments. More information on rebates for energy efficiency products and appliances can be found on the project website.
