Schedule an in-home Energy Audit and get a free ceiling insulation inspection, plus a rebate if additional insulation is needed.
Whether you're replacing an aging air conditioner, improving your home's insulation or looking for smarter ways to manage energy use, the upfront cost of home improvements can sometimes delay a project.
That's where Tampa Electric's rebates and discounts can help.
We offer programs that can reduce the cost of qualifying energy-efficient upgrades while helping make your home more comfortable and potentially lowering future energy costs. From heating and cooling improvements to smart home technology, these programs can help you get more value from investments you're already considering.
Here are a few opportunities worth exploring.
Heating and Cooling Rebate
Your heating and cooling system is one of the biggest energy users in your home. If it's time for an upgrade, choosing a qualifying high-efficiency system could earn you a rebate ranging from $40 to $550.
Rebates are available for eligible heat pumps, central air conditioning systems and geothermal systems that meet Tampa Electric's efficiency requirements. In addition to helping reduce energy use, newer high-efficiency systems can provide reliable comfort throughout the year.
Ceiling Insulation Rebate
If your home struggles to stay cool during Florida's warmer months, your attic insulation may be part of the problem.
Adding ceiling insulation can help keep cooled air inside your home, improving comfort and reducing the workload on your heating and cooling system, which in turn helps lower your electric bill.
Through Tampa Electric's rebate program, eligible projects can receive a rebate of $0.16 per square foot per R-11 insulation installed. A pre-approval attic inspection is required. If additional insulation is recommended, you'll receive a rebate certificate and information on approved contractors.
Projects may be completed by a participating contractor or through qualified self-installation.
Smart Thermostat Rebate
Heating and cooling account for nearly half of a typical home's annual energy costs, making temperature control an important part of managing energy use.
Installing an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat can help you automate temperature adjustments, improve efficiency and reduce energy waste when you're away from home. Customers may qualify for a rebate of up to $22 on eligible models.
Looking for even greater savings? You can receive a free smart thermostat, plus monthly bill credits, by participating in Tampa Electric's program.
Ductwork Discount
Even an efficient heating and cooling system can waste energy if conditioned air is escaping through leaky ductwork.
Through Tampa Electric's ductwork program, eligible customers can have duct leaks professionally sealed for $125 per heating and cooling unit following a required pre-approval inspection.
Sealing ductwork can improve comfort, enhance indoor air quality and potentially reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.
