PeakRewards℠ Trade Ally Program
What is the PeakRewards℠ Trade Ally program?
The PeakRewards℠ Trade Ally program is an initiative which seeks to partner with Maryland-licensed HVAC contractors who service BGE customers. The program offers eligible HVAC contractors incentives for PeakRewards℠ program leads, device removals and for reconnecting a switch. The program also provides training with an opportunity to become a subcontractor for Smart Switch installations.
How does it work?
Interested HVAC contractors are invited to attend periodic meetings, which will provide an overview of the PeakRewards℠ A/C program and Trade Ally opportunities. HVAC contractors will have an opportunity to become a part of the program, upon completion of the Trade Ally Participation Agreement.
Once the agreement is completed, HVAC contractors will receive a vendor participation code and confirmation email. HVAC contractors are encouraged to call the PeakRewards℠ Trade Ally Hotline: 410-682-8268 or email: PeakRewardsHVAC@honeywell.com with any questions about the program.
