Energy Efficiency Incentive Program (EEIP)

 

 

 

The Energy Efficiency Incentive Program (EEIP) was designed to help homeowners and consumers purchase new, more energy efficient models of products that they use every day.  Buying energy efficient products will help you save energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  

We are pleased to inform you that as of August 1st, 2011 there will be several increases in the rebates available.  They are as follows:

  • Condensing Fuel Fired Hot Water Heaters in non-hydroelectricity communities now receive a $1,000 rebate 
  • Instantaneous Hot Water Heaters are now required to be .90 EF but receive a higher rebate of $700 
  • Outboard Motors that have a CARB four-star rating receive $350 for less than 30 hp and $600 for 30 hp or greater.  Rebates for CARB three-star motors remain the same
