Ozark Border Electric Cooperative: Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Ozark Border Electric Cooperative has made rebates available to residential members for the installation of energy efficient geothermal heat pumps, air source heat pumps, and a variety of home appliances. In order to receive rebates, all equipment must meet the specified energy efficiency program standards. Geothermal heat pumps are eligible for a rebate of $750 per ton and air source heat pumps are eligible for a rebate of $150 per ton, up to 4 tons. For both heat pump rebates, the system must be the primary heating system in the home. The appliance rebate program offers rebates on room A/C units, dishwashers, clothes washers, and electric water heaters. The water heater rebate is $50 - $75 dollars depending on whether you are installing a new water heater, replacing a gas unit, or replacing an old electric unit. The other appliances must be Energy Star certified, and warrant rebates of $50 - $100.

In order to apply for the rebates, customers must contact one of the Ozark Border Electric local offices and provide them with a copy of the invoice that includes details of the equipment brand, size, and efficiency.
