Become a Qualified Commercial Refrigeration Trade Partner

Participating Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency Trade Partners can receive benefits including, but not limited to: ongoing training with both custom and prescriptive rebate applications, interpretation of specific refrigeration projects or refrigeration technologies with available program rebates, and assistance from CLEAResult with completing and submitting all rebate paperwork to Xcel Energy in an efficient manner.

CLEAResult will also put refrigeration customers—who are not already working with contractors—in contact with a participating Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency Trade Partners. This process helps customers move ahead with their energy-efficient refrigeration projects—and it provides Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency Trade Partners with project leads they may not encounter otherwise.
