Georgia Power Replacement Window Rebate
Program
2011 Rebate Program Can Save You Big
Georgia Power is the statewide utility that serves
2.35 million customers in all but four of Georgia's 159 counties.
If you live in Georgia, chances are, your home is located in Georgia
Power’s service area and you may be eligible for generous
rebates for a replacement windows project. These rebates are valid
through the end of 2011 and are subject to change and/or limitations.
Georgia Power offers two sets of rebates for
homeowners: "Whole-House" and "individual improvements."
Replacement windows rebates fall under the "whole house"
program. This means that a qualified contractor will conduct an
assessment of your home and provide a “whole” picture
of recommended energy-efficiency improvements.
Replacement windows may be part of this picture.
If so, Georgia Power offers rebates depending upon the level of
energy reduction achieved by the recommended improvement(s). The
higher the energy reduction levels, the higher the rebate. Here’s
how it works:
Percentage of
energy reduction in home achieved |
Rebate (Percentage of total project cost) |
20% |
50% up to $1,250 |
25% |
50% up to $1,450 |
30% |
50% up to $1,850 |
How to Qualify for the Rebate
- You must be a Georgia Power customer to participate
- For the "Whole-House" program, a
home assessment must be performed by a contractor approved by
Georgia Power. (The contractor will charge a fee for the assessment,
but this also is eligible for a rebate of up to $200, or 50% of
the assessment cost).
- Rebate eligibility for improvements depends
on assessment results.
- All reimbursement forms must be signed, submitted
and reviewed before rebate is paid.
A nice bonus of the "Whole-House"
program is that it gives you the flexibility to decide if you want
the same contractor to perform the energy assessment and the recommended
improvements, or if you want different contractors for these two
tasks. The choice is totally up to you.
Remember that if you live in Atlanta, Georgia
Power’s rebates are in addition to the thousands of dollars
