After installation

Step 1: Contact your dealer/plumber

Contact the dealer that installed the water heater(s) to inquire if their company is submitting the rebate on your behalf, on CenterPoint Energy's dealer-only online rebate form.
If your dealer doesn't submit rebates in the dealer-only processing system, then the dealer should generate a paper rebate submission for you.
Provide your email address to the dealer if you want to receive system generated emails about the status of your rebate submission.

Step 3: Rebate Processing

Rebate application must be submitted in the same calendar year that the equipment was installed. See Terms and Conditions for complete information about the rebate deadline.
New Construction rebates are put on a 60 day hold prior to processing for High Efficiency Home program verification. If the home completed the High Efficiency Home program, no rebate will be paid.
From the time that CenterPoint Energy receives the completed rebate application please allow up to 12 weeks for rebate to be processed.
