Avista Utilities Home Improvement and New Home Construction Rebate programs offer a variety of incentives for residential customers to save energy in homes. Offers apply to residential homeowners in Washington and Idaho who heat homes primarily with Avista electricity or natural gas. Incentives vary depending on technology, and generally apply to both existing and new construction homes. Interested customers should see the web site for more information including individual program requirements, specifications, and all application forms.
A $800 incentive is available for the builder of new construction manufactured homes that meet the ENERGY STAR/ECO-Rated Homes criteria and are verified as an ENERGY STAR/ECO-Rated Home, and a $1000 incentive is available for new construction stick built homes meeting ENERGY STAR Homes criteria and verified as an ENERGY STAR Home. Homes must use Avista electric or natural gas to heat their homes and hot water. A $650 incentive is available for homes that have natural gas heat and hot water provided by Avista, but electricity from another provider. More information on ENERGY STAR Homes can be found on the program web site.
