Utility Funded Rebate Programs

Efficiency and Savings

  • You help fund these programs
  • Provide a deeper understanding of rebate process
  • Guide you through the process to utilize maximum dollars

Did you know that you are the one paying for the rebates available through various utility funded efficiency programs? That's right, each month your utility adds a small charge to your bill in order to pay for their public outreach programs. These public purpose funds are then placed in a pool of money with direct order from your state utility commission to spend it on savings programs. So, let's go get some of your money back! As part of all of our energy efficiency services to large users, we serve on your behalf and acquire all available rebate dollars once an energy savings project is complete. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost each year due to customers not understanding the rebate process. We will research incentives for you, and ensure you do not miss out on the opportunity to get your money back. Besides, this is a handy way for us to get paid, limiting your out-of-pocket expense.

Finding available rebates is only part of the process. Staples & Associates will guide you through the application process to ensure all of the utility requirements are met so that you get your rebate dollars. We have years of experience implementing utility-funded rebate programs and understand the need for project tracking and reporting and for making sure that utilities receive credit for the energy efficiency improvements that are made, this is extremely important to utilities.
