Rebates Available through Network Contractors - PROGRAM CLOSED
Rebates will be given through the contractor at the time of purchase, as a line-item discount on the purchase price. Please note that consumers must have a participating network contractor install the system. Beware of false advertising from non-network contractors. Again, these rebates will be applied at the point of sale and will be automatically deducted from your bill. You will not need to mail anything in or apply for the rebate at a later date. You may find a contractor at one of the three links above.
What restrictions apply to these rebates? PROGRAM CLOSED
Only new equipment purchased in the state of Illinois, from a participating contractor that pays Illinois sales tax, for personal use by an Illinois consumer, and for use at the consumer’s Illinois residence are eligible for this rebate. This program is not intended to be used by multi-family building owners.
• Only one rebate per product category, per household is allowable. For example, a customer may receive a rebate on an ENERGY STAR water heater as well as a qualifying furnace, but would not be eligible for two furnace rebates.
• Only Illinois residents are eligible for these rebates. Home zip code must be supplied at point of purchase.
• Rebates will not be retro-active; they will be available only during the periods announced.
• No rebate will be offered to customers who are representing a company or using corporate funding to purchase appliances. In addition, retailers will have the right to refuse to have the appliances delivered to a place of business.
• Only residential-scale equipment will qualify. Only installations in Illinois will qualify. Installations in commercial space will not be applicable.
