REBATE PROGRAMS

JACKSON ENERGY REBATES - Jackson Energy offers member rebates primarily in two areas - energy efficiency and electric load shaping. Both of these categories aid in matching the energy used in relation to the demand for required energy. The following is a list of rebates offered by Jackson Energy.

TOUCHSTONE ENERGY HOME - This rebate is offered to consumers who are in the process or who are planning on building a new home. The rebate for a home is $500. A Touchstone Energy Home is constructed to standards that are 30% more efficient than the 1990 Energy Code. Throughout construction of your new home several inspections will be made to insure efficiency standards are in place which will result in your comfort and satisfaction for years to come. The Touchstone Energy Home rebate is $500 if the home meets the Touchstone Energy Home standards, and a 16 SEER heat pump or a geothermal system is installed.
In order to qualify for these rebates you should contact Jackson Energy as early as possible in the planning process and arrange a meeting with a marketing representative. Also, the home must qualify as an all-electric home.

HEAT PUMP TUNE-UP - A heat pump tune-up includes a check of your heat pump system and some minor repairs to the ductwork. Ductwork can be a major source of air leaks in the home, about 15% in the average home, which causes conditioned air to leak outdoors rather than stay inside the home. This leads to higher energy bills. There is a $50 charge per HVAC unit, but the total work completed is valued at more than $300. As a result of the work, air leaks around the ductwork is usually reduced to 10% or less.

BUTTON UP - Install additional insualtion or other weatherization upgrades to reduce the heat loss in your home, and Jackson Energy will you pay for the upgrades with a rebate. The home must be two years old or older and have electric heat. The maximum rebate for the Button Up program is $300 and is based on the total heat loss reduction.

Additional information can obtained on these and other energy efficiency programs at all Jackson Energy customer service offices. To make an appointment with one of our marketing representatives, call 1 800-262-7480.
