How do I participate?
For installations completed January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021:
I am a landlord of a residential property with a ComEd account. Can I receive a rebate?
Yes, a landlord may participate and receive a rebate for the purchase and installation of qualifying equipment. If the landlord holds the ComEd account, the landlord may apply for the rebate as the account holder. If the account is in the tenant’s name but the property owner or manager is purchasing and installing qualifying equipment in the unit, the tenant may allow the landlord to apply for a rebate using the tenant’s ComEd account information. The tenant must provide his or her ComEd account information and sign the customer rebate authorization section on the rebate application, releasing payment to the landlord.
When are applications due?
For installations completed January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021, applications must be submitted within 30 days of installation or by January 30, 2022, whichever comes first.
Can I receive more than one rebate for the same type of equipment or product?
Participants may receive more than one rebate for the same type of equipment if all rebate requirements are met, except for the smart thermostat rebate. Limit of one smart thermostat rebate per home.
You may select any equipment that meets the rebate requirements.
