Heat Plus Rate
Incentive
- 6.017 cents per kilowatt hour during the October - May heating season
- This optional electric space heating rate is offered for homes and small businesses with approved, separately metered electric space heating systems
- These systems include ground-source or air-source heat pumps, baseboard, ceiling cable, cove, electric boilers, electric furnace and electric water heaters used for space heating only
- Electric heat must be your primary heating source
- This rate applies to electric space heating only, (not domestic water heating)
- Electric domestic water heating system required
- An additional $5 facility charge applies for heat plus meter
- Submitting an application to Linn County REC prior to the start of construction/installation is a must and the member/contractor should allow time for processing. Heat Plus Meters will not be installed until an application has been submitted and inspection has been received.
- The Heat Plus Meter is a subtractive meter that needs to be energized from the General Use Meter. While Linn County REC provides a wiring diagram, any/all questions with wiring any Heat Plus Meter Socket and Panel, reach out to Member Services and/or Metering Department at 319-377-1587.
- Failure to notify Linn County REC and/or incorrect wiring of the Heat Plus Meter Socket/Panel may result in a denial or delay of the Heat Plus Meter installation and the Heat Plus Rate. It is strongly encouraged for members/contractors to reach out to Linn County REC Member Services and/or Metering Department with any questions or concerns during this process.
- Linn County REC will conduct its own on-site inspection of the Heat Plus panel, all electric heating equipment, and all water heaters before our Metering Department inspects the Heat Plus meter socket and installs the Heat Plus meter. These are completed once the Inspection Report is received and all HVAC and water heater installations have been completed.
- Only Residential Rate Code (11TOD, 12TOD) and Commercial Rate (13TOD) qualify for the optional Heat Plus Rate. Not available to accounts with AEP (Alternative Energy Production) or multiplex (over 2) units. Must qualify and comply with Linn County REC's Tariff on Rate Code 17DFM, 19DFM.
