Maryland hotel & apartment thermostat rebates
Maryland has some of the strongest guestroom controls incentives we track. Pepco, BGE and Delmarva Power all list per-room programs for hotel room HVAC controls, so many Maryland hotels and apartment communities may qualify for a meaningful share of a thermostat upgrade. Potomac Edison also lists a per-room amount.
