Save energy. Save money.
We’ll help you get started today.
By changing out light bulbs, installing a programmable thermostat and adding insulation,
you can save a surprising amount on your energy bills. Check out our rebate and
conservation programs to help you start saving today.
How to qualify and apply
for rebates
Alliant Energy’s rebate program includes incentives that cover a portion of the cost of
energy-efficient equipment and materials. Keep these things in mind when making an
investment in your home comfort.
• Rebates are paid to Alliant Energy’s Iowa residential customers.
• Apply for a rebate after the purchase and installation of your eligible item(s).
• Send in the appropriate rebate claim form with a copy of your sales receipt or
itemized invoice. Some rebates require additional documentation such as an
installation report or efficiency certificate. These additional requirements are
noted on each rebate claim form.
• Rebate claim forms for equipment or services that are usually completed by
a dealer, contractor or installer can be obtained from that place of business.
All rebate forms (with the exception of insulation, which is provided during a
Home Energy Assessment) are available online at alliantenergy.com/rebates.
You can have forms mailed to you by calling our Energy Efficiency Hotline at
1-866-ALLIANT (866-255-4268) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Heating
and cooling
HVAC-SAVE required
A new high-efficiency heating or cooling system is a big investment, so make sure it’s
performing properly by asking for a SAVE-rating from your contractor. SAVE stands for
System Adjustment and Verification for Efficiency. A SAVE-rating goes above and beyond
the standard installation. Your contractor measures the performance of your new unit after
it’s installed. Only a SAVE-certified contractor can provide this rating.
To qualify for a heating or cooling equipment rebate, you must have your system installed
by a SAVE-certified contractor, receive an excellent rating and pass a third-party verification.
Replacing your old heating and
cooling system can cut your
annual energy bill by nearly $200
(source: ENERGY STAR).

What is a learning thermostat?
A learning thermostat uses
multiple pieces of information to
help you save energy. It will use
sensors to determine when you
are home. It will also recognize
patterns of when you adjust your
thermostat. A learning thermostat
will use all of this information to
control the temperature in your
home for you. Examples of a
learning thermostat include the
Ecobee 3 or a Nest 2nd
generation.
* Please refer to rebate terms
and conditions #12 on page 19.
**Effective March 1, 2017 you must receive your primary
heating fuel from Alliant Energy
to be eligible for this rebate.
You must have a “yes” in these three
columns to qualify as a learning thermostat.
