A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
$1,000 per ton. That's what you'll receive from Kiwash Electric when you install an all-electric, energy efficient geothermal heat pump in your home or business. To qualify for the rebate, units must have a minimum seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) of 18.5 and a coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.6. The rebate applies only to geothermal heat pump installations in new homes, conversion from a gas furnace, or upgrades from an air-source heat pump. Geothermal units that use a gas back-up system do not qualify for the $1,000 rebate; however they do qualify at the Kiwash air-source rebate rate of $175/ton
The maximum rebate amount is $5,000 per home or business, and you can only claim one rebate every five years.
If you plan to purchase a geothermal unit, be sure to save the proof of purchase, installation receipt, and energy efficiency rating information. You will need it to apply for the rebate. An on-site inspection may be required. For more details on Kiwash Electric rebates for water heaters, air source and geothermal heat pumps, please visit

Cut Summer
T
Bills—for free! Eight easy ways to conserve.
he quickest way to lower your energy costs is to conserve. Here are eight simple changes that will help you save energy this summer:
1. Give your stove a rest. A microwave oven uses two-thirds less energy than your stove to cook and heat food. Other energy-savers: grill outdoors or enjoy cold, healthy soups and salads as the main course.
2. Load the dishwasher. It uses less water—and less energy to heat the water—than washing dishes by hand. Deselect the “heated dry” option to let your dishes air- dry, and you’ll save even more.
3. Keep the refrigerator full. A full fridge uses less energy than a partly empty one because the cold food prevents it from warming up too fast every time you open the door.
4. Inch up your thermostat. If you dress in light clothing and turn on your ceiling fans, you’ll be
comfortable at 78 degrees. You’ll save from one to three percent on your cooling bill for every degree you move your thermostat higher than 72.
5. Run the dishwasher and pool pump, and do the laundry after dark. It’s most expensive to use electricity when everyone else is using it. Usually, that's after work and through dinnertime.
6. Turn on the dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer only when they’re completely full.
7. Unplug the refrigerator in your garage. A half-empty, out-of-date refrigerator trying to keep items cold in a hot, uninsulated garage is one of your home’s biggest energy hogs.
8. Replace air conditioner filters every month or in the summer.
