Your Energy Rebate - What's New

Change in the eligibility status of some mixed use properties

The eligibility status of some mixed use properties was changed as of Tuesday October 14, 2008 to correct eligibility status errors noted by the home heat industry. This change means some properties previously receiving the 8% rebate at point of sale are now required to submit an application. See Rebate Application Form.

This change ensures only properties with a 100% residential taxable status receives the point of sale rebate at the time of delivery.
