Johnson County REMC - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Johnson County REMC offers rebates up to $2,000 for geothermal heat pumps, $500 for heat pump water heaters, $400 for air source heat pumps, and $500 for mini-split systems, plus smaller rebates for insulation, duct sealing, smart thermostats, EV charging, and other efficiency improvements. You can claim rebates by submitting an online form with proof of purchase and installation; equipment must meet specific efficiency standards (HSPF and SEER ratings) documented on AHRI certificates. Most rebates are limited to one or two units per residence, and the program runs annually January through December.

You can help JCREMC customers access rebates on heat pump installations, water heater replacements, insulation, duct sealing, and HVAC tune-ups by ensuring equipment meets stated efficiency requirements and providing required documentation (AHRI certificates for heat pumps, leakage reports for duct sealing, invoices for HVAC work). Rebates range from $50 to $2,000 per measure, with most high-value measures limited to one or two units per residence, and customer claims must be submitted within 90 days of service completion.

The program distributes annual rebates (2026 calendar year) across heating and cooling equipment, water heating, insulation, controls, and electric appliances to reduce member electric consumption during peak periods. Key program mechanics include efficiency thresholds (e.g., HSPF >9.0 for heat pumps, R-42 minimum for attic insulation), per-residence caps on quantities, and documentation requirements (AHRI certificates, contractor invoices, leakage reports). Certain rebates (smart thermostat, pool pump, EV charging) require membership on the Single-Phase Time-of-Use rate, targeting load-shifting benefits.
