Rebates & Programs

Large commercial customers experiencing a poor power factor are encouraged to check on the installation of power factor correcting capacitors. ALP Utilities offers an incentive for customers wanting to improve power factor. Contact our office if you have concerns about your power factor.

The food industry relies on refrigeration for the safe production and storage of food products. From factories to grocery stores and restaurants, keeping food safe is their top priority. Keeping food cold can be as much as 60% of the utility cost. Picking the right equipment is key to keeping utility costs down. Below is a list of incentives available for energy-efficient refrigeration equipment.

• Commercial dishwashers (with electric water heat)
• Electric fryers, griddles, steamers, convection ovens, combi-ovens, hot-food holding cabinets
• Electronically commutated motors (ECMs) in various equipment
• Glass door reach-in cases replacing open multi-deck units
• Ice machines
• Induction cooktop
• Kitchen hood controls
• LED reach-in refrigerated case lighting and occupancy sensors
• No-heat and low-heat reach-in doors
• Q-Sync PMS evaporator motors
• Strip curtains in refrigerated warehouses and walk-in coolers/freezers

Leaks are a significant source of wasted energy in a compressed-air system, often wasting as much as 20-30% of the compressor’s output. Compressed-air leaks can also contribute to problems with system operations. Below is a list of incentives available for an energy-efficient compressed-air system.

• Adding storage
• Compressed–air leak survey
• Cycling refrigerated dryers
• Dew-point demand controls
• Engineered compressed-air nozzles
• Low-pressure blowers
• Mist eliminators
• No-loss air drains
• Pressure flow controllers
• Variable-frequency drive (VFD) compressors

Are you considering replacing a fossil fuel source — like natural gas or propane — with clean electricity? If so, your project may qualify for a Custom Electrification rebate. In many cases, switching to electric can often improve performance and reduce your company’s carbon footprint. Project examples can include geothermal HVAC, air-source heat pumps (units larger than 65,000 BTUH), variable refrigerant flow HVAC and manufacturing processes. Whether you are replacing existing fossil fuel equipment or doing a new installation, we can help you determine if it’s a good fit for a Custom Electrification rebate. Preapproval is required.

Incentives for energy-saving measures not covered by other Bright Energy Solutions programs. Preapproval is required.

Bright Energy Solutions^® will reward you for choosing to replace your Class 1 or Class 2 internal combustion forklift with an electric forklift. There are even incentives for adding to your existing fleet of electric forklifts.

• Class 1, Class 2, or Class 6 replacing internal combustion unit, or addition to fleet
• Forklift lithium-ion batteries

Space cooling accounts for roughly 15% of the electricity used in commercial buildings — second only to lighting. Below are a few types of heating and cooling equipment that may be eligible for a rebate for your business. See the heating and cooling application for more details on qualifications. Plus, if you choose a certified Quality Install contractor to install your HVAC system, you can receive an additional $100 rebate.

View a list of certified quality install contractors.

• Air-source heat pumps and mini-splits
• Central air, roof-top units, chillers
• Quality Install (small split system and ASHP)
• Demand-controlled ventilation
• ECM in fan powered box
• ECM on domestic hot water and cooling water circulators
• Energy-recovery ventilators
• Ground-source heat pumps
• Guest room energy management systems
• Heat-pump water heaters
• High-volume low-speed fans
• Packaged terminal units (PTAC and PTHP)

Bright Energy Solutions^® rewards you for choosing electric infrared process heat technology that can save floor space, reduce energy consumption and increase productivity while requiring little maintenance. Preapproval is required.

Newly constructed buildings are often considered energy efficient, but that’s not always the case! Design Light Consortium or ENERGY STAR® certified lighting can be installed throughout the business, helping to reduce monthly utility bills while providing high-quality performance.

• LED high/low bays
• LED indoor grow lights
• LED pin-based lamps
• LED recessed downlights
• LED troffers
• Lighting watts per square foot compared to code
• Network lighting controls
• Occupancy sensors on LED refrigerated case lights
• TLED lamps/u-tubes

Installing Design Light Consortium-certified or ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency lighting is one of the most cost-effective steps that you can take because it saves money on energy bills while boosting lighting quality. Cash incentives from BES can help you offset the cost of getting started.

• Contractor incentive for lighting retrofit installations
• LED exit signs
• LED high/low bays
• LED indoor grow lights replacing HID
• LED pin-base lamps
• LED refrigerated case lighting and occupancy sensors
• LED recessed downlights
• LED troffers
• Lighting sensors and controls
• TLED linear lamps/u-tubes

No cost design review, energy recommendations and potential custom rebates for new facilities. Contact ALP Utilities in the early design stage to qualify.

Efficient motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs) improve reliability, reduce downtime and maintenance, and lower energy costs. They will also increase the life of your equipment and the overall machine operating efficiency. All of this can help boost your competitive edge and your bottom line. Examples of equipment covered by our VFD and pump rebates include:

• High-efficiency pumps
• Variable-frequency drives (VFDs)
