• Electricity must be a primary heating source in your new or existing home. This includes the heat pump with electric baseboard/radiant heating, slab heating, or electric boiler as the backup system.
• You must be a retail customer of a participating utility.
• Present your $50 coupon to the contractor. The system must be installed by a program trained contractor.
