Great news, Virginians! Rebates for energy efficiency improvements and retrofits made by Virginia homeowners for the replacement of residential equipment and materials such as central air conditioning, heat pumps and furnaces, boilers, water heaters, windows, insulation and programmable thermostats will soon become available.
The rebates total $7 million for residential improvements (there is another $8 million for commercial improvements). Homeowners will be eligible to receive rebates up to $2,000 plus up to $250 of the cost of having an energy audit conducted by a certified auditor.
It’s all first-come, first serve with a web-based reservation and application process which will go “live” in a couple of weeks. Applicants can reserve funding for proposed projects and will be allowed four months to complete the project and provide the documentation before the rebate is approved.
There is not much more detail on the program yet. But if you would like to sign up for news about the rebate program, visit http://www.virginia.gov/eerebates and register for further updates. You will receive notice when the rebate reservation system goes live.
The rebates are being funded with federal stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
