Energy efficiency is a common goal that Holland Board of Public Works shares with our community. Our mission is to operate in ways that are socially and environmentally responsible. We also strive to maintain affordable services for our customers. Our rebate programs are designed to do both, as we reward customers for making product choices that save them energy and money while also reducing their carbon footprint.

NEW REBATES!
We're excited to launch a new series of rebates for electric tools, water heaters, induction cooking appliances, heat pump dryers, heat pumps, and electric panel upgrades. These rebates save you money on upfront costs for items where electric power is a beneficial choice over gas.
Beneficial Electrification
Beneficial electrification is about choosing products with electric power sources whenever it makes sense. Electric-powered tools can often get the job done equal to or better than gas. Electric tools are healthier for you, eliminating carbon emissions from being produced right where they are used. Electric tools are better for the environment, reducing overall carbon emissions that are produced in our community.
Electric tools offer many advantages:
-
Cleaner air
-
No unpleasant smells
-
Less noise
-
High performance
-
Easy to start
-
Less maintenance
-
Cheaper to run

Holland BPW Rebates!

Appliance Recycling Program
Don’t pay someone else to haul away your old freon-containing appliances – we’ll pay you! We even come and haul them away for FREE.
We offer this program as a way to get old, inefficient appliances out of the market. Not only do these old units use more energy, they contain dangerous refrigerants that can be very harmful to the atmosphere if they were to leak. We ensure the appliances we collect are responsibly recycled, giving you peace of mind, plus a few dollars in your pocket.
Rebates range from $15 to $50 for window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, mini-fridges, freezers, and refrigerators.
New Construction Program
Many of the measures available in our Energy Smart Program are also available for residential new construction projects, in addition to $1,000 rebates for Zero Ready or ENERGY STAR certified homes.
Are you a residential builder or developer? Contact us to find out how you may be able to claim these rebates on your next project, whether it’s a single home or a multi-parcel or multi-unit project. Customer rebates may also be available based on the project.
Home Energy 101
In addition to traditional rebates, Holland BPW also partners with local nonprofits to provide in-home energy education to help you reduce your electric bills and usage. All Holland BPW residential electric customers qualify for Home Energy 101, a free, in-home energy education program with energy efficiency tools tailored to your specific needs.
