Instant Rebates are offered to eligible customers by participating dealers as a discount on their sales invoice. Unlike with traditional rebate programs, customers don’t have to wait or submit paperwork to receive a rebate. With an instant rebate – customers get their rebate when they make their purchase – and participating dealers are reimbursed for the rebate amount plus a sales spiff in about two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a utility sponsored rebate program?
Utilities and energy efficiency program administrators invest in energy efficiency rebate programs to help their customers reduce their energy consumption, which reduces the need for infrastructure investments on the grid. The sponsors of these programs pay incentives to drive their customers to purchase equipment that uses less energy than the average model found on the market.
What is different about Instant Rebates?
Instant Rebates provide the energy efficiency incentives directly on the customer’s invoice as a line-item discount. The customer doesn’t have to wait for a rebate check to arrive in the mail after they have installed their equipment. Instant Rebates allow customers to more easily factor the rebate into their purchasing decision.
What kinds of equipment are rebates available for?
Utility rebate programs often cover a wide variety of different technologies, so check your local utility’s website for complete listings. These Instant Rebate programs cover commercial foodservice equipment. Instant Rebates are offered for natural gas and electric cooking equipment, including dishwashers, fryers, many types of ovens, refrigeration, ice machines, holding cabinets, and more. Check the Programs page for more details on specific territories.
What is high-efficiency equipment and what are the benefits?
High-efficiency equipment is often recognized by voluntary rating systems such as ENERGY STAR®, which set efficiency requirements along with performance requirements, so you know you won’t be sacrificing on performance for the sake of efficiency. This equipment is often manufactured with higher quality components that reduce energy consumption by between 10% and 70% annually compared to a standard model found in the market without the Energy Star certification.
Who is eligible for Instant Rebates?
Non-residential natural gas and/or electric customers of the utility and energy efficiency program administrators of the programs may qualify for rebates. Customers must purchase their equipment from a participating dealer in order to receive the Instant Rebate. See the Programs page for more information on customer eligibility. You can also use our zip code look-up tool on the Programs page to input your project site’s zip code to determine if it is within an eligible program territory.
