We have an in-house data team responsible for our central database. The team keeps track of programs across North America and updates with any changes daily, so we can be sure we’re providing the most accurate information.

UtilityGenius is currently only tracking Commercial and Industrial programs at the utility level across LED, Lighting Controls, HVAC, VFD, and EV. 

If you work for a program or utility and would like to see an additional program listed, please contact us at hello@utilitygenius.com for more information about our Sponsored Content Program.

Downstream rebates are paid by the utility responsible for the rebate program directly to the customer. Midstream rebates, however, are received at checkout through a qualifying and participating distributor.

Program statuses can change multiple times throughout the life of a program. Here is a quick guide to what each of these stages means:

• Open: The program is accepting and processing applications
• Closed: The program is no longer accepting or processing applications.
• Discontinued: The program is shut down.
• Partial: Part of the program has a different status than the rest of the program. Head to the utility’s webpage for more information.
• Application Hiatus: The program is open, but not accepting new applications.
• Waitlisted: The program is accepting new applications, but not processing them.
• In Transition: The program is changing their current program rules. Applications are not being processed based on previous program rules, but the utility has not released updated information.
• Preview: The program has released new information, but is not accepting applications yet.

State pages automatically filter to the primary utilities in a state. If you’re looking for a utility that isn’t shown, go to Viewing in the right hand corner under State Utilities, click on the drop down, and toggle to All Utilities.

Make sure that you have email notifications set to ‘On’ in your account settings to get an email with program changes each week. To prioritize certain utility programs, favorite those programs by selecting the heart at the top of the page following the name of the utility.

You will be redirected to that partner manufacturer. These manufacturers all have a widget on their website that allows you to search through their product catalog by product type and gives more specific information on rebate amounts for those products.
