VMEU Rebate Program Energy Efficient Appliances

From Vinton Municipal Electric Utility 

VMEU participated in the Change a light, change the world Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) program this year.

The program concluded on  November 30, 2007 and was a very successful promotion. A total of 155 customers purchased 1149 CFL's during that promotion at a cost to the utility of just under $2,500. Thank you to all who participated. As energy prices continue to increase, the CFL's that you purchased will help to offset those increased costs on your electric bill.

AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP

Available to any VMEU customer that replaces an existing heating system or builds new and utilizes an Energy Star® labeled air to air heat pump with electric resistance back up. The Utility will rebate single package equipment air source heat pumps having a minimum HSPF of 8.0, and split system having a minimum HSPF of 7.6. Rebates will start at $80.00 per ton on units meeting the minimum qualifications. For units exceeding the minimum, an additional $40.00 per ton, per HSPF unit will be rebated.

Example Customer installs a 3 ton split system with a rating of 8.5 HSPF

($80.00 x 3) + ((8.5 - 7.6) x ($40 x 3)) = $348.00

LIMIT 1 PER METER LOCATION

GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP (CLOSED LOOP)

Available to any VMEU customer that replaces an existing heating system or builds new and utilizes an Energy Star® labeled water to air heat pump with electric resistance back up. The Utility will rebate ground source heat pumps which are Energy Star® labeled and have a minimum EER of 14.1 (COP 3.3) at $175 per ton. For units exceeding 14.1 EER, an additional $125 per EER will be rebated. MULTI-STAGE UNITS WILL BE CALCULATED BY DIVIDING THE SUM OF THE RATINGS FOR EACH STAGE BY THE NUMBER OF STAGES.

Example; Customer installs a 3 ton unit with a rating of 16.1 EER.

(3 x $175) + ((16.1 - 14.1) x $125) = $775.00
