$60 per unit

Open Refrigerated Case Door Retrofit

Open Refrigerated Case Door Retrofit Rebate when retrofitting open refrigeration cases with doors for energy savings in an existing facility. Rebate calculated as follows:

$100 per linear foot of refrigerated

Variable Frequency Drives for HVAC

Variable Frequency Drives forHVAC Rebate when installing variable frequency drive motors for HVAC pumps and fans in an existing facility. Rebate calculated as follows:

$40 per Brake Horsepower (BHP) of motor driven by VFD

C&I Improvements Program Requirements

This program is applicable for commercial and industrial business facilities only. Residential applications are not eligible. 
*Pre-approval is required.

​Rebate may not exceed 50% of equipment cost (excluding labor), up to a total maximum rebate amount of $5,000 per rebate application.

Projects must be completed by December 31, 2020.

After project is complete, Pioneer will do a site visit to the facility to verify installation.

Additional Guidelines

Additional Guidelines:

Existing equipment must be operational when pre-approval application is submitted.

All equipment must be new. Used or rebuilt equipment is not eligible.

All projects must comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and building codes.

Only one improvement incentive will be granted for each facility per rebate period.
