What are Distributor-Focused Midstream Incentive
Programs?
• Downstream mail-in rebate programs for HVAC and water heaters are difficult to
administer and have high overhead & low participation.
• Instead, target the wholesale distributor who provides an “instant rebate” to the
contractor, who passes that along to the customer.
• Most products are ENERGY STAR certified.
