Now here’s something to look forward to in 2014: Our rebate programs on energy-efficient windows, insulation and appliances will continue.
All of Chelan PUD’s energy-efficiency programs — including recycling of old refrigerators and freezers — will continue in 2014.
Chelan County PUD’s rebates in 2014 will stay at the same level as 2013 with one exception: The incentive for LED retrofit kits will drop to $10 beginning January 1. (The current rebate is $25 per kit.)
This past year was one of our best ever for conservation, with nearly 400 customers adding energy-efficient windows and/or insulation to save money and improve the comfort of their homes. Check out what three satisfied customers say about their energy-saving improvements in this video.
In the last four years, Chelan PUD has saved 7.3 average megawatts through conservation efforts — enough to power about 2,940 local homes.
Here are the rebate amounts for 2014:
- Energy-efficient windows: $6 per square foot
- Insulation: 50 cents per square foot
- Refrigerators and freezers: $50
- Clothes washers: $30-$75
- Water heaters: $25-$100
- Heat pump water heaters: $300-$500
- Ductless heat pumps: $750
- LED retrofit kits: $10
We’ll continue to offer refrigerator and freezer recycling next year, too. Our contractor will haul away and recycle old refrigerators or freezer at no charge, plus provide a $30 rebate.
The PUD also offers free duct testing and sealing for manufactured homes.
