Harrison REMC offers a variety of energy efficiency rebates rebate applications and qualifications available at harrisonremc.com.

HVAC Tune-Up Rebate

RECEIVE A REBATE OF 50% OFF A QUALIFYING HVAC TUNE-UP COST. TOTAL REBATE NOT TO EXCEED $50.

It’s time to schedule your annual pre-season heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment (HVAC) check-up with a licensed HVAC contractor to ensure your system is operating efficiently. Tune-ups cannot be self-performed, and the unit must be at least three years old.

The HVAC tune-up rebate is designed for air source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps and central air conditioning systems. Gas furnaces are not eligible unless part of a central air system.

Please fill out the Tune-Up Rebate application at www.harrisonremc.com/hvac-tune-up-rebate and submit with an itemized receipt showing date of service, total cost for tune-up and a checklist of services performed to Harrison REMC.


HVAC/Heat Pump Rebates: $700–$1,450*

To qualify, you must occupy the home where the equipment is installed year-round (12 months) and unit must heat and cool the whole home, unless otherwise stated.

Heat pump rebates

They heat, they cool, they’re energy efficient, and they’re affordable. Four good reasons to install a heat pump in your home. Heat pumps are the most popular way to heat and cool because one piece of equipment does it all. It operates entirely by electricity and offers a high level of comfort and efficiency at low costs.

Rebates are available for customers who replace an old heat pump, install a new one or replace a natural gas, propane, oil or wood furnace. There is also a significant rebate for replacing an old air conditioner in a home that has an electric furnace, electric ceiling cable heat, baseboard electric heat or any type of wall electric heaters where the total heating needs of the home are being met by electric resistance heating units.

Dual Fuel Applications

Some believe that two fuels are better than one and combine an air-to-air heat pump with a fossil fuel furnace. In extremely cold weather, a dual fuel heating system selects the fossil fuel furnace for all the home’s heating needs. But for most of our Southern Indiana winters, a dual fuel heating system automatically utilizes the more energy efficient heat pump to provide your home the heating comfort you desire.

Geothermal heat pumps

Geothermal heat pumps are the ultimate comfort machine. No system is more efficient or cheaper to operate than the technologically advanced geothermal heat pump system. Together, earth-stored energy and clean, safe electricity offer an efficient and economical way to maintain comfortable heating and cooling year-round.

Heat Pump Water Heater rebate: $500

HARRISON REMC OFFERS REBATES ON HEAT PUMP HOT WATER HEATERS.

Water heating usually attributes to around 14% of a typical home’s total energy costs.

A heat pump water heater dramatically reduces electric energy consumption compared to an electric tank style water heater. A standard electric tank style unit will use 4,879 kWh of electricity per year compared to 1,856 kWh of electricity per year for a heat pump model.

For Harrison REMC members, the savings is nearly $302 per year with the current residential electric rate. That translates into an efficiency range of 300% to 500% for heat pump water heaters compared to 90% for a tank style model.

The units get the Btu’s of heat for making hot water from the surrounding air, not from electricity.

Harrison REMC has a $500 rebate for investing in this technology.

Electric Outdoor Equipment Rebate

DID YOU KNOW THAT ELECTRIC OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT HAS SEEN BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN RECENT YEARS? HOW ABOUT A PUSH MOWER THAT CAN TACKLE 3,000 SQUARE FEET IN A SINGLE CHARGE? THAT EXISTS!

Your electric cooperative is offering rebates on electric lawnmowers, leaf blowers, string trimmers, chainsaws, snowblowers, roto-tillers and pressure washers – up to $50 toward the cost of new equipment.

Whether you search online or stop by your local hardware store, we want you to find equipment to keep your lawn well-maintained for years to come. When shopping, look for manufacturers who use lithium-ion batteries as they provide the power you expect and charge quickly. If you need a new push mower, be sure you choose a model that runs on at least 36 volts.

The brand you choose is up to you, as well as where you make the purchase – we trust you know what you need and respect where you want to shop.

Why go electric – beyond the savings this incentive provides? You can say goodbye to gas cans and mixing two-cycle fuel. With electric equipment, all you have to do is keep your battery packs charged. This incentive will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
