LOGAN – City officials in Logan are prepared to offer incentives to local residents who are willing to transition to electric yard and snow removal equipment.
“Under this program,” according to Logan spokeswomen Emily Malik, “eligible Logan Light & Power customers can receive rebates when purchasing new electric snow blowers and lawn mowers.”
Thanks to funding from the Utah Clear Air Partnership, Logan Light & Power will offer rebates to city residents who switch to electric lawn mowers or snow-blowers. Detail of the city’s “Switch & Save” program can be found at https://www.loganutah.gov/ (Image courtesy of City of Logan).
Thanks to funding from the Utah Clear Air Partnership (UCAIR), the city’s new “Switch & Save” is offering an electric equipment rebate program. That initiative is intended to encourage residents to transition to electric equipment for their yard care needs, reducing emissions from their usual gas-powered tools and promoting environmental sustainability.
Residents who make the jump to electric power may receive a $50 rebate when they purchase a corded snow-blower or lawn mower; a $100 rebate if they opt for battery-operated equipment; or a $200 rebate for low income residents when they purchase battery-operated equipment.
To participate in the city’s “Switch & Save” program, applicants must be Logan Light & Power customers in good standing.
To qualify for the low-income rebate, applicants must meet specific income requirements which are explained on the application form.
The program allows for one rebate per household for a lawn mower and one for a snow blower purchased after Jan. 1, 2025. Applications for the rebate program must be submitted within six months after the date of purchase.
Market analysts says that electric lawn mowers and snow blowers offer advantages like low noise, minimal maintenance and environmental friendliness.
Their main drawback is often limited power, however, which can be problematic for large yards or heavy snowfalls. Electric equipment may also require frequent battery charging depending on the size of an individual’s property, so they are generally best suited for smaller areas and lighter tasks.
Rebates are issued as credits on resident’s LL&P monthly bills. Funding is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
