Rochester Public Utilities - Residential Conserve and Save Rebate

Rochester Public Utilities' Conserve and Save Rebate Program offers cash rebates when you install qualifying energy-efficient equipment like heat pumps, water heaters, air conditioners, appliances, and LED lighting in your home. You must submit your rebate application by March 31 of the year following installation, and rebates are available until the program's annual funding runs out, so applying early is important.

You can help your residential customers in Rochester Public Utilities' service area access rebates for a wide range of efficiency upgrades including geothermal and air-source heat pumps, ENERGY STAR appliances, high-efficiency water heaters, and controls. All equipment must meet RPU's specific technical requirements to qualify; verify requirements with RPU and ensure customers submit applications by March 31 following the installation year.

RPU's Conserve and Save Rebate Program incentivizes residential customers to adopt efficient equipment across appliances, HVAC, water heating, and controls through direct rebates funded from the utility's annual budget allocation. The program operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a March 31 application deadline for prior-year installations and is subject to exhaustion of yearly funding; administrators must enforce equipment specifications and track spend against available funds.
