ComEd residential customer. A landlord can get the discount on the landlord's account, or with the tenant's permission on the tenant's account.
Homeowners and landlords; tenants can let the landlord use their account.
Air source and mini-split heat pumps must be installed by a ComEd heat pump-trained contractor (no self-installs). Geothermal needs an ICC-certified ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider with geothermal certification. Heat pump water heaters don't currently need a ComEd-approved contractor, but the discount is applied on a contractor's invoice.
