Did you know that electric lawn equipment has seen big improvements in recent years? How about a push mower that can tackle 3,000 sq. ft. in a single charge? That exists!

Daviess-Martin County REMC is offering rebates on electric lawnmowers, leaf blowers and string trimmers − up to $50 toward the cost of new equipment.

Whether you search online or stop by your local hardware store, we want you to find equipment to keep your lawn well-maintained for years to come. When shopping, look for manufacturers who use lithium-ion batteries as they provide the power you expect and charge quickly. If you need a new push mower, be sure you choose a model that runs on at least 36 volts.

The brand you choose is up to you, as well as where you. make the purchase − we trust you know what you need and respect where you want to shop.

Why go electric − beyond the savings this incentive provides? You can say goodbye to gas cans and mixing two-cycle fuel. With electric equipment, all you have to di is keep your battery packs charged. 

This incentive will be offered on a first-come first-served basis.
