Avista recently completed our annual evaluation of energy savings, market costs and other considerations associated with our Residential and Commercial programs. This analysis resulted in some new measure offerings as well as changes to incentive amounts. The new incentive forms will be made available online prior to January 1, 2019 when the changes go into effect. For incentive amounts that are decreasing, measure must be installed and operating; an Avista agreement form, final invoices and other required documentation must be submitted and postmarked to Avista no later than January 31, 2019. Any applications submitted after January 31, 2019 will receive the revised 2019 offerings, if applicable.
To receive the LEAP allowance you must meet the following deadlines:
- Request your natural gas hookup through Avista's Natural Gas construction office by February 28, 2019. Call 877-GAS-TEAM (427-8326).
- Schedule your natural gas service by signing and returning Avista's natural gas service agreement to the Avista natural gas construction office by May 31, 2019.
- Have a contractor install your energy-efficient natural gas furnace and/or natural gas water heater and submit the applications for your LEAP allowance and conversion rebates–with required documentation–prior to November 29, 2019.
