Administered by Orange County REMC
Orange County REMC members can receive rebates for installing energy-efficient water heaters, geothermal heat pumps, and air-source or mini-split heat pumps, with rebate amounts varying based on equipment size, efficiency, and the system being replaced. Some customers also qualify for a free 40- to 50-gallon water heater when replacing a gas unit or building new. To apply, visit the Orange County REMC website for the application and detailed program guidelines, with a December 18, 2026 deadline for 2026 rebates.
Orange County REMC's rebate program creates customer incentive opportunities for qualifying HVAC and water heating projects, with payment amounts determined by equipment specifications and replacement type. Contractors should direct customers to the official program website for application materials and ensure installed equipment operates within the 2026 calendar year at locations connected to Orange County REMC service territory; the cooperative retains sole discretion over qualifying equipment interpretation.

The program requires equipment installation and operation within the 2026 calendar year at cooperative-connected addresses, with a December 18, 2026 application deadline and program interpretation authority retained by the cooperative.
