When planning an energy efficiency project for your home or business don't overlook the pot of free money available to help. Your utility, along with the state and federal government, offer a number of rebates, incentives and technical services that can ease the cost of efficiency upgrades. Flex Your Power hosts a comprehensive rebate finder that can find incentives in your ZIP code. Some of the great savings available include:
- Rebates to offset the cost of replacing old appliances with efficient new models. These are available on clothes washers, clothes dryers, dishwashers and other appliances.
- Rebates to help with the cost of adding additional insulation in existing homes.
- Free or discounted energy and water audits are available in some utility service areas.
- Energy efficiency education is available to teach you how to get the most out of your energy dollar.
- Rebates are available to help homeowners install solar power systems.
These are just a few of the available options for homeowners and businesses to take advantage of utility and government programs. If you thought upgrading for better efficiency or alternative energy was too expensive, these incentives may help you get the job done.
