Summary

The Cedar Falls Utilities (CFU) Energy Efficiency Rebate Program provides rebates for energy efficient heating and cooling equipment, thermal envelope improvements and appliance recycling. The amount of the rebate varies greatly by technology and all technology must meet specified energy efficiency requirements listed on the program web site. Heating and cooling rebates range from $200 - $300 per unit with an additional rebate for higher than the minimum required efficiency. Thermal envelope improvements, including attic, ceiling, in-wall, and foundation insulation are eligible for a rebate of 60% of the contracted labor plus up to an additional $1,000 for the costs of equipment and materials. To qualify for the heating and cooling rebates, CFU Energy Service staff must measure your home to determine the appropriate size of the new equipment to be installed. All recycled appliances must be in working condition and be picked up by CFU. All receipts must be mailed to CFU along with a completed application. Contact CFU for more information on this program.
