Commercial Rebates

Smart Energy Rebates are designed to help Ames Electric Services customers conserve energy and reduce their environmental impact. As advances are made in energy-saving technologies, our rebates are updated as well.

We have transitioned to a paper-free rebate system. Please submit your rebates online if you are able! If you have questions about the rebate portal, feel free to call us for a quick orientation to the new system. If you are not able to submit your rebate online, you can give us a call to request a paper form in the mail. You can reach us at 515.239.5177.
