Geothermal Heat Pump Requirements
1. Equipment must be listed in the AHRI Certification Directory for geothermal equipment. This information can be verified online for a given model number at www.ahridirectory.org. Data (including capacity) must be obtained from the appropriate section as follows: 
• WLHP Ratings required for Water Source equipment rebate. 
• GLHP Ratings required for Closed Loop geothermal equipment rebate. 
2. Size of unit used to determine rebate is based on the cooling capacity listed in the appropriate section of the AHRI Directory.
3. Closed loop heat exchangers must be designed to maintain water temperatures within AHRI performance test parameters for the type of equipment and rebate being considered. 
4. Units rated only as water loop heat pump (WLHP) equipment must use water that is temperature controlled by a system such as a boiler/cooling tower.
5. Hydronic units may be used for domestic water heating or pool heating. These will NOT qualify for special heat rate programs unless units also provide space heating. 
6. Rebates will be paid per 1/2-ton increment with the capacity determined using the appropriate AHRI rating. 
7. "Pump and Dump" systems are not eligible.
8. Fire to Wire Bonus is only available to members replacing existing gas heating systems. Retrofit only. No new construction

NOTE: Installing contractors should provide Members with the information necessary to complete the application for this program. Prior to installation, the contractor should be made aware of program requirements and you should contact the Cooperative to confirm that the system will qualify for an incentive.
Heat Plus Rate
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
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. 
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.

Under no circumstances shall the Utility be liable for any consequential or incidental damages or tax liability resulting from participation in this program.  

Participant Certification: Participating Customer certifies that he/she purchased and installed the equipment listed on their application at the defined location served by the Utility. The Customer agrees that all information provided is true and that he/she has conformed to all program requirements.
