New Construction Rebates to help save energy and money
Our WarmWise Home Savings Program offers builders cash back rebates for the purchase and installation of new qualifying energy-saving equipment. You can receive a rebate for each qualifying equipment purchase and installation. For example, if you purchase a qualifying furnace and smart thermostat, you will receive two rebates, while funds remain available.
