Lighting steps

Before you start your project, contact us or an Energy Efficiency Alliance vendor and sign a letter of intent (PDF). We may need to verify existing equipment. Pre-approval is recommended but not required for lighting retrofits.
We provide an incentive agreement – here's a sample (PDF). Sign the agreement before you order equipment. You provide a completed W-9 form (PDF) so we (or our program administrator) can prepare a 1099-Misc. (if required) following the incentive payment.
Upgrade your lighting.
Submit project cost documentation, including invoices with a breakdown of materials and labor, and contact us or your Energy Efficiency Alliance vendor for a post-installation inspection.
Receive incentive check within 45 days of completion of step 4.
