Guthrie County REC member-consumers who take advantage of rebates when considering energy efficient options on new equipment should take note of changes to the 2022 rebate program offerings.

Effective Jan. 1, the changes include:

• Elimination of the rebate for residential electric heating (single and multifamily dwellings). The cooperative will continue to offer the heat rate.
• Elimination of rebates for ENERGY STAR® clothes washer and electric dryer replacement.
• Elimination of residential weatherization rebates and LIHEAP qualified residential weatherization.

Commercial rebates will also change to eliminate all commercial ENERGY STAR kitchen equipment and commercial chiller rebates. Agricultural rebates will remain unchanged from last year.

Your cooperative encourages you to research available rebates when considering purchasing new equipment. Thankfully, technology advancements in energy-efficient products on the market make it easy to choose new equipment with energy savings in mind.

Please contact Marlene Chalfant at (888) 747-2206 with any questions or to discuss your rebate options before making a purchase.
