Switch It Up Program FAQs
All OPALCO members may apply. Eligibility is determined by two factors: 1) your credit rating with OPALCO (no arrears and a good bill payment history); and 2) your proposed equipment is qualified for the measure. Your contractor will know which equipment meets the standards.
If you are not the property owner, the owner must sign an agreement, since the improvements and financing charges stay with the property.
No. OPALCO charges no administration fees. However, San Juan County recording fees paid by OPALCO to record the Memorandum of Meter Conservation Charge (MMCC) will be passed through to the member and included in project financing.
No. Members may still choose to install and pay for the measure themselves and then submit to OPALCO for a rebate OR apply for on-bill financing. However, if you’re doing a fuel-switching measure (propane, oil, wood, etc. to electricity), there may be additional incentives available. Please contact us for more information.
