Introducing new HVAC measures

As of April 1, HVAC tune-ups and ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostats are eligible to receive incentives through both our downstream and Direct Discount programs. Customers can now receive up to $125 off HVAC tune-ups and $15 off smart thermostats. HVAC tune-up and smart thermostat measures have been added to the HVAC estimator, which must be submitted with the application. Customers who do not have a current HVAC maintenance contract and have not completed a tune-up in the past three years may be eligible for incentives.

Friendly reminders: preapproval thresholds and waivers

All projects receiving over $3,000 in incentives require preapproval. However, the maximum preapproval threshold for larger lighting projects has been increased to $10,000 in total incentives. Participating distributors must meet the Distributor Lighting Handbook requirements and submit the appropriate forms.

Preapproval continues to be recommended and encouraged to accurately calculate savings and incentives. However, preapproval may be waived on custom projects when project savings can still be accurately captured without preapproval. Have a project that is underway or recently completed that did not get submitted? It may not be too late — reach out to your account manager or PPLBusiness@clearesult.com today to learn if your project may qualify.

The most up-to-date program estimators can always be found on our website. Applications submitted on outdated versions of the estimator will be sent back to the contractor to be updated. To ensure savings and incentives are calculated correctly, please download a new copy of the estimator for each application.
