Who wouldn't want to get paid for saving energy? Tipton’s Municipal Utilities continue the City’s effort to “Go Green” and have developed a rebate program to encourage energy efficiency.

For any city resident who purchases new compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL) they can receive a 50% off purchase price rebate. CFL’s use a fraction of the energy of traditional incandescent bulbs, and can have a real impact on your home’s electricity usage.

Appliances are large energy users, and the City also has a rebate program for refrigerators and freezers. If you retire/dispose of an old refrigerator or freezer (must go off Tipton’s electrical grid) you will receive a $35 rebate.

If you purchase a new Energy-Star certified unit and dispose of your old one (such as have it taken away by the store that you purchased the new one from) you can get a $100 rebate! *Important Rebate Information - Updated 4-6-09*

The more we, as consumers, reduce our energy usage the lower our bill will be and the less energy the City has to purchase. Please contact City Hall at 886-6187 for more detailed information. Rebate forms and requirements are available for download below, and are also available for pick-up at City Hall. Note: rebates are given out in Chamber Bucks, which are accepted the same as cash at most Tipton businesses.
