City of High Point Electric - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by City of High Point Electric
The City of High Point rebates heat pump installations ($300–$500 depending on efficiency and whether it's new construction) and electric water heaters (up to $150), but you must have City electric or water service and apply within 60 days of installation with proof of purchase and equipment specifications. A City Building Code Inspector will verify the installation meets state codes, and you can use any licensed contractor with a City privilege license.
Offer customers rebates on qualifying heat pumps (SEER2 15.2 or higher, 1–5 ton capacity) and electric water heaters (30+ gallons) installed in residential properties; the rebate depends on equipment efficiency and construction type, but you must obtain permits, coordinate City inspection, and ensure the customer submits the application with full documentation within 60 days of installation. Only one rebate per equipment per location per five years is allowed, and commercial businesses are not eligible.
This rebate program reimburses residential customers for heat pump and water heater installations through applications submitted within 60 days of City Building Code inspection; heat pump rebates range from $300–$500 based on SEER2 rating and construction type, and water heater rebates cap at $150 per unit, with funding contingent on ongoing NCMPA allocations. The program limits one rebate per equipment per location every five years and excludes commercial entities, though landlords managing residential rentals may apply.
