Multifamily property owner Bakari Kafele has much to be thankful for: His wife, his baby, and MCE’s partnership with the City of Richmond that provided him with substantial cash rebates for energy-efficient upgrades. Bakari reached out to this program, known as Energize Richmond, when he needed to perform upgrades on his three tenant units, but was short on funds after paying his mortgage, property taxes, and insurance, in addition to raising a newborn.
MCE worked closely and quickly with Bakari to help assess his property, select qualifying appliances, answer questions, and approve $2,138 in MCE and Energize Richmond rebates —over half of the $3,926 in total upgrade costs.
“
We were able to upgrade all of our units’ water heaters to much more efficient, instant, tankless units, and replace two old refrigerators with Energy Star® units, which we couldn’t have done without the program. As a bonus, they replaced every light bulb on the property with dimmable LEDs. The total rebate was several thousand dollars, which made the difference between being able to do the projects or not.”
