Business Instant Discounts
Looking to save money on lighting and HVAC equipment? Whether you are a customer or a Service Provider, Pepco’s Business Instant Discounts Program makes it easy to save on select purchases and improve energy efficiency.
We offer instant discounts on qualified lighting and HVAC products when you purchase from local participating distributors. You will connect with sales representatives who are lighting and HVAC experts and can offer personalized advice on products that meet the needs of your business. No need to bargain hunt or apply for incentives—your sales representative at your participating local distributor will help you select qualifying equipment and apply the discounts automatically to your purchase price.
When you replace your lighting or HVAC with energy-efficient models, you can:
- Save on energy-efficient products—right at the counter or over the phone.
- Lower energy costs and save money each month with energy-efficient equipment.
- Refresh interior and exterior spaces.
Getting started is easy! Simply search for a distributor near you and then ask the sales representative about the Pepco Business Instant Discounts Program. You can also place an order over the phone by contacting your preferred distributor.

EmPOWER Maryland programs are funded by a charge on your energy bill. EmPOWER programs can help you reduce your energy consumption and save you money. To learn more about EmPOWER and how you can participate, click here.
The EmPOWER Maryland charge funds programs that can help you reduce your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and save you money. Since the inception of the EmPOWER Maryland program in 2008, the programs have saved $14.5 billion on installed measures at a cost of $4.1 billion. In addition to new program costs, this charge includes paying off the uncollected costs that were accrued over time by programs required by the EmPOWER statute and authorized by the Commission. In accordance with House Bill 864 the uncollected amounts will be fully paid by the end of 2032.
