Get 2020 off to a great start by taking advantage of ECI REC’s extensive rebate incentive program. We offer rebates for residential, commercial, and agricultural Cooperative members.
Residential rebates are listed below. Ag members can get cash back on things like livestock ventilation equipment, and commercial members can save when choosing efficient kitchen equipment, amongst other things.
Because rebate qualifications vary, review the appropriate rebate form for the requirements prior to purchase. In general, members planning to apply for rebates should keep receipts and must fill out the appropriate rebate form. If you have any questions about qualifying products, please contact ECI REC’s member service department at 877-850-4343.
