Virginia Releases New Super Efficiency Home Appliance Rebate

 

The Virginia Department of Mines Minerals and Energy just released its "Super Efficient Home Appliance Rebate Program" that is much more generous than its predecessor. Though the requirements are a little more stringent, homeowners will potentially stand to gain far greater results in home energy efficiency.

 

Talk with your HVAC provider to determine which rebate applies to you.  Remember, you need a reservation!

  • The rebate program will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. You must submit a reservation application online with the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy.  
  • You will have 30 days from your reservation approval date to purchase, install, and submit paperwork for your appliances. Please review the Virginia DMME website for full rules:

Funding for this program is available on a limited basis with applicants being placed on a waitlist when all initial funding is reserved. Waitlisted applicants may or may not receive any funding. There is no announced date for the close of the application period nor waitlist and Virginia will not provide individual updates to waitlisted applicants.  

 

Even if you don't have any work to do, please tell your friends about this opportunity!  

 

If you need an HVAC referral, consult your audit report or give us a call at (240) 396-2141 and we'll be happy to give you a recommendation.
