Water heater rebates

Get up to $400 back with enrollment in an off-peak service.

Save with discounted off-peak prices and water heater rebates

Heating your water has never been so affordable! Get a generous rebate when you install an electric water heater and enroll in one of our off-peak programs.

Eligibility and details

  • Eligible water heaters require proof of a minimum of 90% efficiency (uniform energy factor, or UEF, rating of .90 or higher).
  • Rebates require enrollment in one of our off-peak programs. Eligible programs include Deferred Load, Dual Fuel, Residential Demand Control, or Controlled Water Heating—including our water heating credit option, which eliminates the need for a second meter and saves on wiring costs.
  • For new off-peak installations, new specifically refers to water heating loads. If you have an existing off-peak rate in place for space heating, you can qualify for a rebate by adding a water heater to that rate.
  • Both residential and commercial rebates are available.
