Tampa Electric: Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Tampa Electric provides a variety of cash incentives to promote energy efficiency in the residential sector. The Ductwork Rebate Program gives Tampa Electric customers the opportunity to have a trained professional appraise a home's duct systems for accessibility and repair needs, seal any leaks, and help minimize future leaks for only $50.

Customers can also have insulation inspected through the Building Envelope Improvement Program. If the technician finds areas for improvement the customer may be awarded rebates to replace or add ceiling insulation, replace windows, or install window film. Customers should schedule an appointment with a Tampa Electric energy analyst before installing ceiling insulation. The other measures do not require pre-inspection, but must meet minimum requirements to qualify for incentives.

Tampa Electric also provides a rebate for high efficiency heat pumps (15+ SEER) through the Heating and Cooling Rebate Program. With this program, customers can be credited $275 - $400 for replacing an existing heat pump with a high efficiency heat pump or for replacing an electric resistance, natural gas, or oil heating system with a qualified heat pump.

Finally, homeowners and contractors building new homes can receive incentives to incorporate energy efficient design through the Residential New Construction Program. Interested customers should see the web site for full details and application forms.
