The Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department (WMGLD), offers the "Incentive Rebate Program" to encourage residential customers to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. All home energy efficiency incentive rebates require an audit through the NextZero program before any work is done and requires a post-installation inspection. There is a maximum rebate of $1,500 for energy efficiency improvements approved by a NextZero audit per qualifying customer per year. Eligible upgrades include various forms of insulation, weather stripping, and window and door replacement. This incentive is available to the customer once every 12 months. Application forms can be filled out at http://wmgld.com/residential-appliance-rebate-form/
WMGLD also offers rebates for Heat Pump, Gas Heating System, or Central Air Conditioning through ABODE Energy Management, to qualify, contact ABODE.
WMGLD also offers an electric vehicle charging rebate program. There is a limit of one charger per qualifying customer account. To be eligible to receive a rebate incentive, chargers must be provided by the WMGLD. Plug-in Hybrid chargers provided by the WMGLD at a reduced cost will receive a rebate incentive of $300 (18 KW) or $200 (9 KW).
