Is there a set amount of rebate?

The VEU program takes a lot of factors when calculating the rebate amount

– Where you live
– What sort of climate your region has
– The product that’s being decommissioned
– What new VEU-approved product – or products – are being installed

This range of variables is the reason no set amounts are published. There are so many combinations.

How do I benefit from the rebate?

The installation companies’ 1st Energy Rebates work with pass a rebate on through their installation bill either as a price reduction or cash back.

Installers need to make sure they:

– Identify and recommend only VEU-approved products

– Decommission or recycle old units using a VEU-approved method, via EPA-registered sites

– Handle the compliance work associated with the VEU application for the rebate
