Intercounty Electric Cooperative - Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Intercounty Electric Cooperative offers rebates up to $750 for heat pump water heaters, $150–$500 per ton for heat pump systems (including geothermal and mini-splits), and other efficient equipment, with limits based on equipment type and existing fuel sources. You must be a member with a meter using over 6,000 kWh annually, submit your application within 60 days of installation with original receipts and warranty copies, and have the equipment installed in a permanent facility served directly by the cooperative. Contact Member Services at 866-621-3679 or vanessa.haneline@ieca.coop for specific rebate amounts and eligibility details for your equipment.

You can help Intercounty Electric members access rebates by ensuring installations meet ENERGY STAR or equivalent efficiency standards, submitting required documentation (AHRI certificates, Manual J calculations, contractor invoices, and backup fuel verification where applicable), and completing rebate applications within 60 days of installation. Note that as of July 1, 2025, new requirements include dual-fuel backup for heat pump systems and increased rebate amounts for heat pump water heaters ($750 instead of $500), while some rebates (standard water heater, room AC, and EV chargers) have ended or are ending.

The rebate program targets Intercounty Electric Cooperative members in Missouri with installations using over 6,000 kWh annually, offering rebates across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors for heat pumps (geothermal, ducted dual-fuel, and ductless mini-splits), heat pump water heaters, and other efficient equipment. Starting July 1, 2025, the program shifted focus to reduce annual energy consumption and winter peak demand by requiring dual-fuel backup for heat pump systems, increasing heat pump water heater rebates to $750, and discontinuing standard water heater and room AC rebates. Installations are subject to cooperative inspection; applications must be submitted within 60 days with original invoices, warranty copies, and technical certifications (AHRI, Manual J) to qualify.
