If you are planning on replacing or installing a new cooling system for your home, let our 2008 Cool Cash Incentive program
help you make an informed decision.
Did you know that Utah’s climate is ideally suited for evaporative cooling, which can lead to significant savings on your
summer electricity costs versus a central air conditioning system?
If you’re planning to install a new central air conditioner, did you know that you need to consider proper equipment sizing,
selection, installation, operation and maintenance in addition to equipment efficiencies to help ensure your comfort and the
efficient operation of your air conditioner?
Learn more about the 2008 Cool Cash Incentive program below. You can also contact your local participating dealer, or send an
e-mail to the program administrator. Incentives are available for a
limited time only
so don’t hesitate to take advantage of this offer.

Limitations
Incentives are limited to
one per qualifying household per eligible measure. Customers may apply for evaporative equipment incentives and/or central air
conditioning equipment incentives. Within each equipment type, customers may apply for multiple incentives – e.g. customers
can qualify for any one or more of the three central air conditioning measures listed in the above.
Window air conditioning units, packaged terminal units, and heat pumps are not eligible for incentives under the 2008 Cool
Cash Incentive program. Only qualifying equipment purchased
and installed after January 1, 2008 is eligible for incentives. Qualifying equipment receiving incentives under the 2008 Cool
Cash Incentive program may not receive equipment purchase and installation incentives under other Rocky Mountain Power programs.
In addition, Rocky Mountain Power customers issued incentives in the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007 Cool Cash Incentive program
are not eligible to receive incentives for additional equipment installed at the same address under the 2008 program.
Application verification
To help maintain quality control, we will conduct random inspections to verify the accuracy and validity of incentive applications.
Customer incentives associated with applications that have been selected for inspection will not be processed until the inspection
has been satisfactorily completed. Inspections may be performed after incentive payments have been processed at our discretion.
