Inter-County Energy Efficiency Program

Inter-County Energy Cooperative offers several energy efficiency and demand-side management programs for residential members, under tariffs approved by the Kentucky Public Service Commission effective 1 September 2025. Incentives are available for heat pumps ($500-$1,500 depending on type and efficiency), ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters ($250), insulation and air sealing (up to $1,875) and HVAC duct sealing ($500), and for all-electric new construction (up to $750). Inter-County Energy also provides a Bring Your Own Thermostat program, which pays a $10 sign-on bonus and a $100 account credit for enrolling an eligible smart thermostat in load control. Inter-County Energy also provides the Community Assistance Resources for Energy Savings (CARES) program, which provides an incentive of up to $3,000 to households for weatherization and energy efficiency measures through their local Kentucky Community Action Agencies (CAA) network. Free energy audits are available to members. See the program website for more information.
