South Central Indiana REMC - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

South Central Indiana REMC offers rebates on heat pump water heaters (UEF ≥ 0.90), mini-split heat pumps (SEER2 ≥ 17.3, HSPF2 ≥ 7.5), geothermal heat pumps ($2,000 rebate), and air-source or dual-fuel heat pumps ($300–$500 depending on efficiency tier) for new or replacement installations in homes served by the cooperative. To apply, you'll need a sales invoice and AHRI certificate from your licensed HVAC contractor, and the cooperative processes applications in 5–6 weeks; members can claim up to 2 rebates per year.

This program requires licensed, full-time HVAC contractors to install all heat pump equipment and provide AHRI certificates and itemized receipts with rebate applications. Mini-split and air-source heat pumps have specific SEER2 and HSPF2 efficiency tiers that determine customer rebate amounts ($300–$500 for air-source), while geothermal installations qualify for a fixed $2,000 rebate regardless of efficiency rating. All equipment must be installed in homes served by South Central Indiana REMC to be eligible.

The program offers tiered rebates across four heat pump categories plus water heaters and HVAC tune-ups, with geothermal at $2,000 flat and air-source/dual-fuel ranging $300–$500 based on SEER2/HSPF2 ratings verified via AHRI certificates. Participants are limited to 2 rebates per year, applications process in 5–6 weeks, and all work must be performed by licensed contractors in REMC service territory. The program targets residential members upgrading heating/cooling systems and hot water equipment to efficient electric technologies.
