Get 2018 off to a great start by taking advantage of ECI REC’s extensive rebate incentive program. Both your pocketbook and the environment will thank you when you choose energy-efficient appliances and products and use our rebate program.
We offer rebates for commercial, residential, and agricultural Cooperative members. Residential members, for example, can save on everyday items like LED light bulbs. Ag members can get cash back on livestock ventilation equipment, and commercial members can save when choosing efficient kitchen equipment. Residential rebates are listed below; find rebate information and forms for all groups visiting the Rebates & Incentives page.
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 services department at 877-850-4343.
