General Information
1. What is included in the program?
Idaho Power customers purchasing a new all-electric, ENERGY STAR manufactured home are eligible for a $500 rebate. Additionally, the sales consultant selling the home is eligible for a $100 sales bonus.
2. Why is Idaho Power sponsoring this program?
There are up-front costs affiliated with choosing a more energy efficient home. Idaho Power helps customers with these costs, enabling the homebuyer to reap the long-term benefit of lower electric bills. In addition, Idaho Power encourages sales consultants to discuss energy efficiency with their customers.
3. How is an ENERGY STAR manufactured home different from a non-ENERGY STAR manufactured home?
An ENERGY STAR manufactured home has more insulation in the ceiling, walls and floors. It features better windows and doors, a tighter duct system and a specially designed ventilation system. This improves the comfort of the home, the affordability of the homeowner's electricity bills and the indoor air quality of the home. Each ENERGY STAR manufactured home is built to specifications more efficient than the current federal guidelines. A representative from the Northwest Energy Efficient Manufactured (NEEM) Home Program inspects each new ENERGY STAR home.
4. When will the program run?
The program continues until either the funding is exhausted or Idaho Power terminates the program. Incentives are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Idaho Power reserves the right to terminate this program at any time.
Rebate Advantage Details
1. Who is eligible for this program?
Any customer who signs a sales agreement for a new, all-electric ENERGY STAR manufactured home and initiates an Idaho Power residential account for that home can apply for a rebate. Sales of used homes or indirect sales of new homes are not eligible for this program.
2. Where does a customer sign up for the program?
Just provide information to your sales consultant, who then submits the paperwork to Idaho Power. All rebate requests must be submitted by the dealer and must include the Rebate Advantage application, a copy of the sales agreement and the home's Certificate of Compliance. Direct applications from the customer are not accepted.
3. When will checks arrive?
Customers and sales consultants receive their rebate/bonus checks approximately 4 to 6 weeks after Idaho Power receives the application, and/or after the home is sited and connected to an Idaho Power residential account.
4. Where can I learn more about the program?
Learn more about the program at a licensed new manufactured home dealer. Licensed dealers serving Idaho Power customers have application forms and further information. For more Idaho Power information contact us.
