Saving Energy in Rental Properties
FOR RENTERS:
You can take charge of your electric bill, even if you don’t own your living space. It’s about making small, manageable steps to reduce energy consumption that add up to significant savings.
We’ve created a renter tip sheet and blog for you to learn about the many ways to save!
FOR LANDLORDS & PROPERTY OWNERS:
Great Opportunities
Upgrades and renovations offer building owners and landlords opportunities for greater energy efficiency and resulting cost savings. If your property has electric baseboard heat, high electric bills are likely your renters’ biggest complaints. Being proactive is key when it comes to energy efficiency. Waiting until systems fail or energy bills skyrocket can result in unnecessary expenses and disruptions to renters. Look into Wattsmart Homes’ rebates for a full range of systems and appliances. With rebates, you can maximize your return on investment and reduce energy costs for renters for years to come.

Excel as a “Pro”
It’s essential to distinguish yourself as an outstanding, in-demand or extraordinary contractor in a competitive market. That’s why Rocky Mountain Power rewards contractors who excel in their field with prominent status in the Wattsmart Pro Network. Your local word-of-mouth standing is probably the most important factor in obtaining work. However, being part of the Pro Network adds value above and beyond your “grapevine” reputation.
The benefits of being part of this elite group include:
- A special listing under the online Rocky Mountain Power Find a Vendor tool.
- Exclusive marketing, including being featured on our website banners.
- Streamlined payment processing.
- Networking events.
- Pro Network gear, tools and awards.
- A status you can add to your online profile, business card and printed materials.
- And more benefits are coming soon!
How does a vendor become a Pro Network contractor? By offering their customers a premium caliber of knowledge, efficiency and service. Pro Network contractors are knowledgeable about heat pump benefits and have a demonstrated history of quality installations. Contact your field specialist for more details and to find out if you’re eligible for the Pro Network.
Idaho/Wyoming Program Changes
We received valuable feedback from our partners about some beneficial changes in Wyoming and Idaho. The introduction of a de-rated dual fuel tier in both states will allow contractors to offer incentives even when equipment pairings are unavailable. This will ensure customer satisfaction and inspire confidence in the program. For further information on this measure and other updates, please visit the Wattsmart® website at wattsmarthomes.com.
