Danville Utilities has launched a new residential energy efficiency rebate program designed to encourage customers to upgrade certain appliances, air-conditioning units, water heaters, heat pumps and attic insulation.
For qualified purchases made after July 15, the program — called Home$ave — will rebate varying amounts of money, depending on the purchase.
Nate Lewis, Danville Utilities’ key accounts manager, said there are few limits on the number of rebates a resident can receive, though heat/air conditioner tune-ups will be eligible only every three years.
“It really doesn’t make that much difference if you do it (tune-ups) every year,” Lewis said. “If you need one each year, it’s probably time to look into a new unit.”
Lewis said such tune-ups typically cost between $150 and $200; the rebate offered is $55.
Specifics on what must be done to qualify for each rebate are available online at www.danvillehomesave.com , as are the rebate applications.
