PNM offers a lot of great electrification rebates and programs, but their website can be a bit confusing. Mail-in Brochures that have past year deadlines are still good. Always check the website for updates and fine print on rebate limits and technical requirements. Contact PNM if you have questions.

To make your home more comfortable and affordable explore the full range of their offerings.  Installing more electric appliances will increase your electricity bill, so consider a Time-of-Use plan for less expensive rates when electricity is cheaper. If you sign up for the Power Saver plan, you receive a free smart thermostat and a small sign-on and annual bonus.

If you are still a NM gas customer you might use their insulation and sealing rebates to weatherize (PNM has an insulation rebate too).  And always check for state tax credits – but make sure that the product meets both the PNM and New Mexico state technical requirements. The table below outlines PNM’s different rebate programs. In some cases you may combine more than one PNM rebate. For example, you could receive a Home Energy Checkup Early Replacement rebate of $75 for a heat pump clothes dryer and apply for an $165 appliance rebate
