Your application paperwork
Duke Energy offers this rebate to its residential customers who install the qualifying energy-efficient equipment this program covers. You apply through the utility's rebate program, usually online with your account, your paid invoice, and the equipment's model or efficiency rating. Submission and payment rules vary, so confirm the current rebate, required submitter, timing, and equipment rules on the official page first.
Steps to apply
- Confirm that your residential account with Duke Energy and the planned equipment meet the current program rules.
- Check the official rebate page for the current rebate amount, eligible equipment, and whether a participating contractor is required.
- Buy and install the qualifying equipment (keep the itemized paid invoice and the equipment model or AHRI / ENERGY STAR information).
- Check the official page to confirm who must submit the rebate application and the current deadline. Submit through the permitted route, then wait for the administrator's decision.
Documents you will likely need
- Your Duke Energy account information.
- The itemized paid invoice or receipt for the equipment and installation.
- The equipment's model number and efficiency rating (AHRI certificate or ENERGY STAR label).
