Heat Plus Rate

(if different than shown for equipment location)
The Heat Plus Rate is an optional electric space heat rate offered for homes with an approved, separately metered electric space heating system. During the heating season (October - May) the electric space heating kWh is charged at a reduced rate of $0.65/kWh. Please contact Eastern Iowa REC if you have any questions regarding the Heat Plus Rate or are interested in signing up for this adjusted rate.

Locating Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps
All products listed on the website: https://ashp.neep.org are eligible for this rebate.

Locating ENERGY STAR Heat Pumps
A database for equipment that is ENERGY STAR® qualified or better, that also contains AHRI certified ratings is located at www.ceedirectory.org (not for room heat pump units).
Air Source Heat Pump Requirements
  1. Eligible equipment includes air source heat pump, mini-split heat pumps and multi-split heat pumps. All heat pumps must be ENERGY STAR certified.
  2. Air source heat pumps must meet current federal minimum efficiency requirements and have a minimum capacity of 0.5 tons. Units must be rated in the AHRI Certification Directory (published by the Air-Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration Institute) which is available on-line at www.ahridirectory.org.
  3. Fire to Wire Bonus is only available to members replacing existing gas heating systems. Limit of 2 bonus payments per home. Retrofit only. No new construction.
  4. The minimum SEER and EER efficiencies on this form are the values required for ENERGY STAR qualified equipment at the time this form was published. ENERGY STAR requirements periodically change and the Member is responsible to ensure that their system meets the current ENERGY STAR criteria in effect at the time of installation.
  5. When installing a split system (most common type of residential unit) both a new outdoor unit (condenser) and a new indoor A-coil (evaporator) must be installed. 
  6. A hybrid air source heat pump (ASHP) system is the combination of an ASHP with a propane or natural gas furnace. The indoor evaporator A-coil and controls for qualifying Hybrid or Add-On heat pumps must be integrated with a new or existing gas furnace.
  7. Eligible Hybrid/Add-on heating systems must be designed with maximum backup size of 3 kW of resistance. When heating requirements exceed the capability of the ASHP unit plus the resistance, the ASHP should be de-energized and the integrated gas furnace should be utilized.
  8. Rebates for air source heat pumps are based on the unit capacity for as expressed in cooling tons. The capacity rating provided in the AHRI Directory is expressed in "Btuh." This amount must be divided by 12,000 to determine the number of tons (round to nearest half ton). Installing contractors should have this information or it can be found at www.ahridirectory.org.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • An ENERGY STAR® label on equipment does not guarantee that the  product qualifies for this incentive. Refer to requirements 3 and 4 above to determine eligibility. Current ENERGY STAR® information, specifications and eligible non-AHRI listed equipment can be found at www.energystar.gov. 
Heat Plus Rate
Heat Plus Rate Program Requirements
  1. The primary heating system must be electric and metered separately.
  2. The primary electric heating source must operate first, with any backup system operating only when the primary system is unable to satisfy the indoor thermostat setting. 
  3. An electric water heater (storage, heat pump or supplemental solar) must be installed and provide 100% of the domestic water heating for the home. 
  4. The space heated by the primary electric system must be an area of 400 square feet or more. 
  5. This rebate for the Heat Plus rate is only available to the building owner. The rate is applicable to all ratepayers (including renters) with eligible heating systems. 
Qualifying Heat Plus Facilities

The following facilities can qualify for the Heat Plus rate: 
  • Single family residential dwellings and/or their outbuildings. 
  • Residential apartments and multi-family buildings (e.g. nursing homes and assisted living complexes). May not apply to large complexes with individual meters. 
  • Buildings or facilities that 1.) are served by one or more transformers with a combined rated capacity of 75 kVA or less, or 2.) maintain an actual combined peak of 75 kW or less. 
  • Separately metered building spaces that maintain an actual combined peak of 75 kW or less. 
Note: The Heat Plus rate is not to be applied to periodic heating applications or to heating during peak winter conditions only. A system where the building is totally unheated during unoccupied times is unacceptable. 

The Cooperative reserves the right to suspend the rate and remove metering equipment owned by the Cooperative if the Member is no longer using the equipment on a regular basis or is in violation of any program requirement
General Terms and Conditions 
Rebates shall be pro-rated based on the percent of power supplied by the utility if the customer has distributed generation.

Application Information: Missing or incorrect information on the application may delay processing and delivery of the rebate. An invoice is required and should include specific product information, including the brand, model, serial number and date of purchase of the energy efficient measures. Other information including manufacturer's equipment performance sheets may be required upon request. 

The Utility reserves the right to verify sales transactions and to have reasonable access to the Customer's facility to inspect pre-existing equipment (if applicable) and energy efficient measures installed under this program. 

Warranty Information: The Utility makes no warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to equipment operation, material, workmanship or manufacturing. The Utility does not guarantee that a certain level of energy or cost savings will result from the use of products covered by this program. 

Limitation of Liability: The Utility's liability in connection with this program is limited to paying the rebate specified when all terms and conditions have been satisfied. Under no circumstances shall the Utility be liable for any consequential or incidental damages or tax liability resulting from participation in this program.
