Water Heater Rebates

Water heating is typically the second-largest energy expense in your home, after space heating and cooling. It usually accounts for about 14 percent of your utility bill. If your gas water heater is more than 10 years old, it probably has an efficiency level no higher than 50 percent. An old water heater can operate for years at very low efficiency before it finally fails.

Members replacing an existing water heater may qualify for a rebate of up to $50 as a credit on your electric bill.

To qualify for the rebate, members must:

• • receive electricity from ACE Power
  • have not received a rebate in the last five years
  • have a receipt from where the heater was purchased
  • provide a name and address where the check can be mailed
  • provide address where the heater is located
  • provide a phone number of where ACE can reach you during the day to set up an appointment to inspect

When it comes to electric heat pumps, the installation is almost as important as the heat pump itself. The better the installation, the more comfortable and efficient your electric heat pump will run. It’s that simple.

That’s why your local public power company and TVA have developed the Quality Contractor Network (QCN) and the EnergyRight Solutions Heat Pump Program. QCN members have the skill and the knowledge to install the right system for your home, service your equipment down the road, and even coordinate financing through your local public power company. QCN members not only stand behind the systems they install, they also stand behind the installation process.

ACE Power can work with you to assess your lighting needs and design a lighting system that is efficient and effective.

To obtain an outdoor light, the property owner must complete and sign an Outdoor Lighting Agreement.

If a pole is required to hang the light, a $5 monthly pole fee will be added to the cost of the light. A 48-month contract will apply to the light and pole charge.

All lights and poles are the property of ACE Power and are rented by the member. If you have any questions or for more information on this program, email us at custserv.ace@gmail.com or contact New Accounts at (662) 287-4402.

• Use the self-cleaning cycle of your oven right after you finish baking. That will give it a head start in heating up
• Hang on to appliance manuals so you can refer to them for care information and possible energy-saving tips
