Potomac Edison Switch-to-Electric (HVAC / HPWH)
Equipment: cold-climate HP up to $4,000; ASHP up to $3,500; ductless HP $3,000; HPWH up to $2,500. Lower dual-fuel/partial switching tiers must be confirmed. Separate eligible make-ready up to $3,000 per address. Meredith's 2026-10-12 filing evidence reports $500 Trade Ally bonus once/address, paid to contractor, not homeowner savings. Max $4,000 is equipment only; do not automatically add make-ready or contractor bonus to quote.
Active Potomac Edison Maryland residential customer; replace fossil-fuel equipment through participating HVAC contractor. Direct HVAC/HPWH pathway does not require a $100 home energy audit. Home Performance audit pathway is separate. Official public HVAC and Switch pages verify amounts and eligibility; detailed OneRing checklist, 90-day window, Manual J/ductwork make-ready, and $500 contractor bonus are Meredith's firsthand 2026-10-12 evidence (https://resolvrebates.slack.com/archives/C0ANWQ9CYJ3/p1791827005299779), not publicly verified contractor-guide facts.
