Electric water heaters are safer, cleaner, quieter and more affordable than other fuel sources. There is no flame or venting through your home’s roof or wall and they are 100% efficient at point of use.
MVEC carries two brands of electric water heaters that can be combined
with an Energy Wise program
which allows you to receive reduced electric rates and/or a bill credit.
NOTE: Electric water heater rebates are offered as an
"up-front" rebate when the member chooses to install it to an
Energy Wise® program. Rebate qualifications include: the electric
water heater must be installed within 120 days to qualify for Energy Wise
pricing. Water heaters not hooked up to an Energy Wise® program within
this time frame will be billed at the current retail rate plus tax. If
you choose to pick up your water heater from our office, please contact
us prior to arriving to ensure we have the water heater size you want
in stock.
For removal and/or proper disposal of your existing water heater contact
