She looks forward to helping Trade Allies incorporate MidAmerican’s energy efficiency programs into their business models.
Instant Discounts program expanded
The Instant Discounts program has been expanded to include a wider range of energy-efficient equipment.
Eligible HVAC equipment for residential or commercial buildings now includes:
- geothermal heat pumps
- central air source heat pumps
- mini-split air source heat pumps
- air conditioners
- furnaces and more
Additionally, more types of LED lights have been added to the program for commercial buildings. Eligible lighting types include:

To offer these incentives to your customers, you must purchase equipment from one of our participating distributors that can offer an upfront discount or credit on eligible equipment that you pass down to the end user.

Are you listed as an Instant Discounts provider?
If you are a lighting or HVAC Trade Ally who is working with a participating distributor to offer MidAmerican Instant Discounts to your customers, we encourage you to get listed on our Find a Provider search tool. While being listed is not required, our search tool makes it easy for customers to know if working with you can help them save money! If you would like to be listed on the search tool, contact a Trade Ally Ambassador.
