Lewes BPW customers can earn a/c rebates

Lewes Board of Public Works electric customers may be able to claim a $100 rebate on qualifying central air conditioners and a $50 rebate on qualifying window air conditioners through a program from Efficiency Smart.

Lewes BPW customers can learn more by going to efficiencysmart.org/lewes-delaware and selecting Home Energy Rebates or calling 877-889-3777.

Energy-efficient air conditioners can help keep homes cool while reducing energy use compared to standard models. This makes upgrading to an efficient model a smart choice for those looking to replace their aging air conditioner ahead of the cooling season. Qualifying central air conditioners use 8% less energy than standard new models while qualifying window units use 9% less.

To celebrate the launch of the new rebates, Efficiency Smart is giving away a window air conditioner on its Facebook page. Lewes BPW customers can visit Facebook.com/EfficiencySmart through Wednesday, March 8, to learn more and enter the contest.

Only qualifying air conditioner models purchased after Feb. 28 are eligible for Efficiency Smart’s rebates.

Efficiency Smart is offered through Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation’s energy-efficiency program for the benefit of its member communities.
