Rebates

 

Eligibility

Is your new home eligible for a rebate?

1. Your Home and Heating

2. New Home Energy Usage

3. Paperwork

4. When to Apply

5. Special Cases

Limited to 10 rebates per year. Please contact us and apply early.

 

Apply

1. Pick a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rater

Make sure to work with a HERS rater to make sure you qualify for a rebate. Builders can get a home certified as "green" through multiple programs in Washington. The PUD can help find the right fit. (One recommendation is Better Built NW.)

2. Build and Model Your Home Energy Usage

Have your HERS rater model your energy use and make sure it uses 20% less energy than code requires. PUD staff can help with resources, including typical ways to meet the higher efficiency standard, to help builders reach the 20% target.

3. Send in Paperwork

Gather your paperwork and send them (or ask your contractor to submit them) to conservation@chelanpud.org or:

Chelan County PUD
PO Box 1231
Wenatchee, WA 98807-1231
