Rebates

Effective June 1, 2009, through a partnership with Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., our power supplier, VVEC is able to offer a better rebate program for our members.  VVEC strives to help our members keep electric affordable and this rebate program is just one of the ways to help our members have the most energy efficient products available in the marketplace.

We now offer rebates on certain electrical appliances.  Included are clothes washers, dishwashers, and room air conditioners.  All of these products must be Energy Star rated and the consumer must have an electric water heater to qualify for the clothes washer and dishwasher rebates.  The member must contact VVEC or download the rebate form from our website and have it completed and returned, with a copy of the sales receipt, to VVEC within 90 days of the purchase date to qualify. Certain restrictions do apply which are included on the rebate form or by contacting the Member Services department.
Appliance rebates are as follows:
            Clothes Washer                   $100.00    NOTICE: Rebate expires 6-1-2012
            Dishwasher                          $50.00      NOTICE: Rebate expires 6-1-2012
            Room Air Conditioner            $50.00

Electric Water Heaters for new construction or conversion from gas water heaters will continue to be rebated for up to $199.00 if purchased elsewhere or full price less taxes if purchased from VVEC.  However, we are also including rebates for $50.00 on replacement units when the old unit is less than .90 efficiency rate and the new unit exceeds .90 efficiency.  All electric water heaters must be Energy Star rated with a minimum efficiency rating of .90.  The member must contact VVEC or download the rebate form from our website and have it completed and returned to VVEC with a copy of the sales receipt within 90 days of the purchase date to qualify. Certain restrictions do apply and new units are subject to inspection by VVEC after installation. Tankless water heaters and hybrid heat pump water heaters are not eligible for the rebate program.

Ground Source Heat Pumps are rebated at $300.00 per ton for new construction (must also have electric water heater) or conversion from gas units and must be Energy Star rated with an EER rating of 19.1 or greater.  Also, replacement units will be rebated at $150 per ton but must meet the EER criteria above and be a gain of at least 3 EER ratings from the old unit. Replacement of electric resistance heat or air source heat pumps with a Ground Source Heat pump with a 19.1 EER rating or greater will also qualify for the $150.00 per ton rebate. Rebate applications and sales receipts must be received within 90-days of purchase date. Certain restrictions apply.

Air Source Heat pumps (including electric resistance backups) will be rebated at $150.00 per ton for new construction (must also have electric water heater) or conversion from gas units only.  Dual Fuel Heat Pumps will be rebated at $150.00 per ton for new construction, replacement of existing electric resistance or dual fuel heating systems, or the replacement of gas heat (dual fuel pump must have a back-up automatic thermostat controlled fuel system for supplemental heat).  Air Source and Dual Fuel heat pumps must be Energy Star rated with a minimum SEER rating of 16.5 or greater.  Certain restrictions do apply and new units are subject to inspection by VVEC after installation.
