Heating System Rebates
Minnesota Energy Resources' heating system rebates provide incentives to customers who upgrade to a high efficiency natural gas furnace or boiler, install a programmable thermostat, or install an electronic ignition on their gas hearth/fireplace. Not only will you save on your upgraded system, but you'll continue to save with reduced natural gas use year after year. We recommend that you work with a heating dealer of your choice to determine the best system for your home.
