Con Ed Offers Westchester Customers Energy Efficiency Rebates

Con Edison offers New Yorkers several energy efficiency programs -- and one of them seems extra-urgent since temperatures have been 10-30 degrees above normal this past week.

For 2016, the company will help residential customers with $30 rebates for eligible room air conditioners.

That's a sweet deal.

There's more: Con Ed has made several enhancements to its energy efficiency programs this year. The company will give customers $75 for buying eligible high-efficiency refrigerators, $50 for dishwashers, $35 for clothes washers and $20 for dehumidifiers.

The upgrades customers made last year prevent the emission of 111,800 tons of carbon into the air annually, company officials said. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, that’s the equivalent of taking more than 23,500 cars off the road.

“Our customers know a good deal when they see one and our energy efficiency programs are an incredible value,” said Vicki Kuo, Con Edison’s director of Energy Efficiency, in a prepared statement. “We work with customers every day to help them make upgrades that lower their electric and gas usage.”

And residential customers aren't the only ones being helped.

More than 5,300 small business customers received $23 million in incentives last year while reducing energy costs by increasing energy efficiency, company officials said.

Con Ed offers programs for residential, multi-family, small business, and large industrial customers. Since 2009, the company has provided $236 million in rebates to 250,000 customers.
