You apply through the utility's rebate program, usually online with your account, your paid invoice, and the equipment's model or efficiency rating.

Steps to apply

- Check the official rebate page for the current rebate amount, eligible equipment, and whether a participating contractor is required.
- Buy and install the qualifying equipment (keep the itemized paid invoice and the equipment model or AHRI / ENERGY STAR information).
- Check the official page to confirm who must submit the rebate application and the current deadline. Submit through the permitted route, then wait for the administrator's decision.
