Program Introduction
This program is also available for North Carolina customers.
Water heating accounts for about 20% of your home’s energy use. It’s easy to save on your water-related energy usage with the Residential Water Energy Savings Program from Dominion Energy Virginia.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
The Water Energy Savings program offers a rebate up to $400 off the purchase of a new connected heat pump water heater that meets ENERGY STAR performance requirements. Heat pump water heaters move heat from one place to another using electricity, instead of generating heat directly. Due to this design, heat pump water heaters can be up to two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters.
Pool Pumps
Pool owners can save energy and receive a rebate of up to $300 off the purchase of an ENERGY STAR certified variable speed pool pump through the Water Energy Savings Program. A variable speed pool pump can reduce pool pump energy use by up to 75%.
