Indian Wells, CA – Increasingly in the forefront of Coachella Valley “green” initiatives, The City of Indian Wells has dug into its own coffers to launch an innovative new program that will help city homeowners invest in energy efficiency and save money!
Indian Wells Home Energy Assistance Link, or IW HEAL, offers monetary incentives designed to assist Indian Wells homeowners to minimize electricity, natural gas, and water use in homes and, at the same time, maximize savings on utility costs. The City of Indian Wells has budgeted $100,000 out of its General Fund for the inaugural year of this program.
“The City of Indian Wells is dedicated to a high quality of life for its residents,” says Mayor Mary T. Roche. “That includes taking a proactive stance on creating a healthy and sustainable environment by helping residents to convert to more energy and water efficient equipment and technologies.”
IW HEAL program guidelines are simple: Incentives are available for qualifying homeowners on a first-come, first-served basis. City homeowners are eligible to receive incentives only for approved appliances purchased between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. Incentives are limited to 20% of the purchase (including installation), not to exceed $500 per year.
Residents who wish more information on IW HEAL can call Indian Wells City Hall at (760) 346-2489. More information and an application available for download can be found at www.cityofindianwells.org/HEAL_Program
