Residential Rebatesarrows

MidAmerican Energy's EnergyAdvantage® Residential Equipment program offers rebates to Iowa customers who purchase and install qualifying heating, cooling and water heating equipment and qualifying appliances fueled by natural gas and/or electricity supplied directly by MidAmerican Energy. Rebates are available for newly installed energy-efficient:
  • Natural gas furnaces, boilers or water heaters
  • Air-to-air, add-on or ground-source heat pumps
  • Central or window air conditioners
  • Electric water heaters
  • Furnace fan motors
  • Programmable thermostats
  • Appliances
Rebate amounts vary depending on energy efficiency ratings of specific models.

Request a SAVE Rating
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 by having your contractor measure the performance of your new unit after it’s installed. The SAVE rating ensures that your new investment is performing properly and adding comfort to your home. Only a SAVE-certified contractor can provide this rating. Visit www.hvacsave.com to locate a SAVE-certified professional in your area.

Competitive Interest Rate Financing Option
MidAmerican Energy and First American Bank have teamed up to offer competitive interest rates on loans to purchase certain eligible equipment for your home. A six month same-as-cash option also is available. Iowa customers may choose the rebate or a financing option, but not both. Call our representatives for more information about equipment eligible for EnergyAdvantage Financing and to initiate the loan process.
