Orange and Rockland offers rebates for energy efficiency upgrades in your commercial or multifamily building, including HVAC systems, lighting, controls, and custom measures—you must have an active electric account and be contributing to the System Benefit Charge to qualify. Visit O&R's website to find participating contractors, review available rebate amounts for your specific equipment, and submit an application for your energy efficiency project.

You can serve customers in O&R's service territory by installing eligible high-efficiency equipment (lighting, HVAC, controls, motors, cooking equipment, and other approved measures) in existing commercial, industrial, institutional, or multifamily facilities; customers must have active electric accounts and contribute to the SBC, and you should register with O&R's contractor network to access rebate details and application support.

This utility-administered commercial efficiency program reimburses O&R customers (who fund it via the System Benefit Charge) for electric-powered efficiency upgrades in existing facilities across commercial, industrial, institutional, multifamily, and government sectors. The program offers standard rebates for defined technologies (HVAC, lighting, VFDs, cooking equipment, etc.), custom incentives for non-standard measures pending approval, and demand response payments; applicants apply through the utility's website, and program administration is coordinated by staff including Program Administrator Steve Orman.
