Bartholomew County REMC - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Get rebates from your local cooperative for upgrading to efficient equipment: air source heat pumps ($300–$500), geothermal heat pumps ($2,000), mini-split heat pumps ($300–$500), or high-efficiency water heaters ($200–$500). Submit your application with proof of purchase, equipment specs, and energy ratings within 90 days of installation to qualify.

Customers receive rebates when they install AHRI-certified heat pumps or UEF-rated water heaters meeting specified efficiency tiers; you'll need to ensure equipment documentation and help customers submit applications within 90 days. The program limits members to two heat pump rebates and two water heater rebates per calendar year, with geothermal units receiving a flat $2,000 incentive regardless of SEER2 rating.

This residential rebate program, effective January 1–December 15, 2026, incentivizes electrification of heating and water heating in Bartholomew County REMC's service territory through tiered rebates based on SEER2 and UEF ratings. Members submit applications with itemized receipts and equipment certifications within 90 days; the program targets whole-home installations plus single-room mini-splits for additions and outbuildings, with funding allocated per technology type and efficiency level.
