Geothermal Digs in For Another Great Year!
The 2017 Geothermal Rebate Pro- gram is ready for another busy year. Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC) is doing a 2 for 1 rebate match with their distribution cooperatives for 2017.
WFEC realizes huge savings that are gained with geothermal systems. They are the best way to reduce peak demands for both summer and winter peak times! In addition to the savings, geothermal systems are some of the cleanest, and most efficient ways to heat and cool your home.
WFEC is offering a $700.00 a ton rebate for Cimarron members who in- stall geothermal (Geo) in their homes. Cimarron Electric will participate with $350.00 a ton for our members!
$1,050.00 a ton for installing geo- thermal heat pump (s) in your home.
Geothermal systems can also help heat your water. WFEC will kick in another $150.00 if your geother- mal heat pump has a hot water generator installed. And in the two for one match, Cimarron Electric will add $75.00 to the deal. $225.00 paid to you, to help you save money on your hot water heating bill. If you put in a new elec- tric water heater, we will give you another $50.00.
To qualify for the rebate money, your heat and air contractor has to do a Manual J Load Calculation on your home. The Manual J will show the heat load and loss for your home. Then the proper sized geo- thermal equipment can be installed in your house. The paperwork must be signed by you, your con- tractor and a representative of Cimarron Electric Cooperative. The AHRI rating of the equipment must be provided and also an invoice from the contractor.
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
You can choose your heat and air contractor and the brand of geothermal heat pump you want installed. The minimum ratings are a 3.3 COP for heating and a 15.9 EER for cooling.
WHAT IF I’M REPLACING AN EXISTING GEO?
We know that there are close to a thousand geo’s out on our lines. A lot are getting close to their life expectancies. Since the idea of the program is to save money by reducing load (demand), and the carbon footprint, the rebate criteria is different when replacing a geo heat pump with a geo heat pump. The amount of savings will be less since you had a very efficient geo system that you’re replacing.
The geo to geo rebate will be a 2 to 1 match. WFEC offers $250 per ton and Cimarron Electric offers $125, for a total of $375.00 per ton for our mem- bers. The combined rebate of $225 for the hot wa- ter generator will still apply for replacing a geo with another geo that has a hot water generator.
The new geothermal system has to have an effi- ciency rating that is equal to or greater than a 3 EER improvement over the old geothermal to qualify.
