Mower incentive extended for another year

PERC recently extended its Propane Mower Incentive Program through 2013, giving landscape contractors another year to apply for more than $1 million in incentives toward the purchase of new propane-fueled commercial mowers or propane mower conversion kits.

Applicants accepted into the program can receive either $1,000 toward each new commercial mower purchased or $500 toward qualified mowers converted to run on propane. The incentive can be applied to as many as 25 mowers per applicant, including both new and qualified conversion propane mowers. Program participants must report to PERC on their equipment’s performance and usage for one mowing season.

Last year, landscape contractors applied for nearly 300 incentives when the program was launched on a limited basis. Applicants can combine mower incentives from PERC’s program with any qualifying state propane gas association rebates or manufacturer rebates.
