Thank you for your interest in the Montgomery County Residential
Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. Nearly all funds have been committed to projects,
however we have a small amount of resources available for new applications. To ensure
first come, first serve, we will still use the wait list. You will still need to
comply with all program requirements regarding getting approval for your project
before proceeding. To add your name to the wait list, read the following pages and
register your name by creating an account.
The Montgomery County Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program offers incentives
to homeowners up to $3,000 to offset the cost of certain energy efficiency projects
and products. Made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, rebates
are available on a first come, first served basis to individuals in single family
homes, town homes and condominiums (subject to certain conditions). This website
provides information on the program, links to other incentive opportunities, and
an on-line application form. Read on for more details!
How much funding is available and what kinds of energy saving improvements or product
are eligible for a rebate?
Up to $3,000 per participant is available, on a one time basis, for energy-efficiency
improvements. The minimum rebate amount that a participant can apply for is $500.
The table below specifies the types of improvements and products are eligible for
a rebate through this program, and the incentive level for each item. Click on each
individual item to learn more:
Note: In rare occasions, certain circumstances may preclude the use of ENERGY
STAR qualified models. If an ENERGY STAR qualified unit is not available for your
retrofit above, please contact us at help@mcenergyfunding.com and
we will work with you to determine eligibility. In addition, only one heating
system and one cooling system rebate will be provided.
Who is eligible to apply for a rebate?
This rebate program is limited to owner-occupied primary residences within Montgomery
County. Owners of individual condominium units may apply; however, the rebate is
limited to items for which the owner is responsible for maintaining and replacing.
Rebates cannot be granted retroactively for activities that have already been completed
or products that have already been purchased.
Are other sources of funding available?
The Montgomery County rebate may be used in conjunction with other incentives available
through your utility company, or other entities. Every effort has been made to synchronize
the requirements of the Montgomery County rebate program with the requirements of
these other programs. However, the funding sources for each of these programs are
different. Therefore, some requirements vary. If you are interested in taking advantage
of these other programs, it is very important that you understand their specific
requirements.

What is required before I apply for a rebate from Montgomery County?
In order to apply for a Montgomery County rebate, an applicant must get an energy
audit (or quick check for condominiums), a scope of work from a contractor for the
improvements they plan to install, and complete an on-line application. Click the
"Next Page" button for more detailed information on program requirements and to
begin the application process.
You will also be asked, before your rebate can be processed, to sign a release allowing
the County to request information on your utility consumption directly from the
utility to help evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
