Heat Pump Rebate

Amount: $300   (maximum 2)

Santee Cooper customers may be eligible to receive a $300 rebate for replacing your old heat pump with new, high-efficiency 15 SEER heat pumps with a quality installation. You may receive a maximum of two (2) heat pump rebates per residence, totaling $600. With this option, you can apply for financing with a low-interest Smart Energy Loan from Santee Cooper.

Heat Pump Tune-up Rebate

Amount: $50   (maximum 2)

To operate efficiently, your heat pump needs regular maintenance, just like your car needs tune-ups. Santee Cooper offers a rebate of up to $50 toward having a professional Santee Cooper Residential Trade Ally tune-up your existing heat pump unit and provide documentation as outlined on the Santee Cooper HVAC Tune-up Form (maximum 2).

Duct Testing and Sealing Rebate

Amount: 50% of cost, up to $200   (maximum 2)

According to the EPA, in a typical house with forced-air heating and cooling, about 20 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. The result is higher bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.

*Santee Cooper is offering a rebate of 50% of the cost up to $200 to seal your leaky ducts and make your home more energy-efficient year round.

To qualify, a Santee Cooper Residential Trade Ally's service technician must perform and provide documentation of proper duct testing and sealing as outlined on the Duct Testing and Sealing Form.
