PPL Electric Utilities - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by PPL Electric Utilities
PPL Electric Utilities customers can receive rebates up to $500 for heating and cooling upgrades (including heat pumps and central AC), up to $575 for insulation and air sealing work, and up to $75 for appliances like ENERGY STAR refrigerators and dehumidifiers. To participate, contact a PPL-listed qualified contractor to perform the installation, then submit your rebate application online or by mail within 90 days of completion (insulation rebates require an energy audit). Rebates are paid by check, and customers with lower incomes may qualify for enhanced rebate amounts and no-cost assessments.
This program creates customer demand for energy-efficient equipment across heating, cooling, insulation, air sealing, and appliances, with rebate incentives that reduce the customer's out-of-pocket cost and increase project appeal. Contractors must be on PPL's qualified contractor database to serve customers in the program; customers use this list to find installers, making program enrollment a way to reach efficiency-focused residential clients. Work must meet equipment specifications (ENERGY STAR certification for most products; heat pump water heaters require UEF > 3.3) and customers must submit documentation within 90 days of job completion.
PPL Electric administers this rebate program under Pennsylvania Act 129, targeting all residential customers including multifamily and low-income households with income-based enhanced incentives. The program operates a qualified contractor network and online rebate portal; rebates are capped per measure type (up to $500 for HVAC, $575 for insulation/air sealing, $75 for appliances) and paid via check. Applications must be received within 90 days of installation for appliances/equipment or based on energy audits for insulation work, with program details and income-based offer verification available through the rebate portal.
