Energy Efficiency Rebates
San Miguel Power offers the following energy efficiency rebates:
- Energy Star Appliance Rebates (includes heat pumps and motors)
- Lighting Rebates
- Weatherization Rebates
We offer a variety of rebates that can cut the cost of new appliances by 10% or more. How do you know what appliances qualify? It's simple - just look for the energy star logo when purchasing new appliances. Rebates are only available for members who remove an old inefficient appliance from the grid and replace it with a new efficient model. Our goal is to get as many of the inefficient appliances off-line and recycled as possible. Proof of proper disposal is required. If you have proof of refrigerant disposal you will receive an additional $65 rebate. Questions? Call SMPA's Member Services at (970) 626-5549.
