Water Heater Rebate

Need a new water heater for your new or existing home? Let CWLP "buy" it for you!

CWLP residential electric customers who install electric water heaters in their newly constructed homes or who replace existing gas water heaters with new electric ones might qualify to receive a $200-per-unit rebate on up to two simultaneous installations at one address. Only units with minimum tank capacities of 30 gallons qualify for the rebate. Once installation is complete, 100% of the home's water heating needs must be provided by electricity.

To participate in the program, you must:

(1) be pre-certified by CWLP . . . before removing your existing gas water heater and before purchasing or installing the new electric water heater in your new or existing home. Most "pre-certs" can be done by phone. Call 789-2070 to request a pre-cert. Please have the make and model number of your current gas water heater available when you call. If your existing water heater should fail, forcing you to replace it on an emergency basis prior to receiving pre-certification, you might still be eligible for the rebate program if you contact the Energy Services Office within two business days of the emergency installation date. Rebate eligibility under these circumstances will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
(2) request a post-installation
verification inspection . . .
within six months of your pre-cert date. Assuming your installation meets all program criteria, you will receive a Water Heater Rebate Application. If your installation does not meet all program criteria, you will not be eligible for the rebate. The customer Water Heater Rebate Application is available only through the CWLP Energy Services Office following your successful post- installation verification inspection. It cannot be downloaded from this website.
(3) submit your application . . . within three months of your post-installation verification inspection. Your rebate will be issued as a credit to your CWLP electric bill.


CWLP reserves the right to make on-site inspections of any heat pump installation before granting the rebate.
