of their homes.
For most items, simply follow the purchase guidelines below and complete a rebate application. For insulation, weatherization, furnaces, heat pumps or central air conditioners, you must contact CFU before you buy! Call (319)
268-5413 or use our online form to schedule a House Calls energy audit. A CFU energy specialist will visit your home to determine eligibility and calculate the optimum size for new heating and cooling equipment. To qualify for the rebate, any new heating/cooling equipment you
