Focus on Energy Rebates
Focus on Energy offers cash back rewards and financial incentives if you are updating appliances, building a new home, installing high efficiency heating and cooling, implementing energy efficient home improvements, installing ENERGY STAR lighting products, installing renewable energy systems, or installing a water heater.
For example, Wisconsin residents who install a power vented natural gas and tankless water heater may be eligible for a $100 reward. (Note: if you are considering a tankless water heater, read our summary of Consumer Reports take on tankless water heaters.)
Visit Focus on Energy’s Incentives & Grants webpage to see if your project might be eligible for a financial incentive.
