Heating system rebates for existing homes

Limited-time bonus rebates available for qualifying heating systems installed Aug. 1 – Nov. 30, 2025.

We provide rebates for upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas furnace or boiler, or installing a programmable or advanced thermostat. You will save not only on your upgraded system but also 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.

To qualify for an advanced thermostat rebate, provide the complete model number. Rebates are limited to one qualifying thermostat per natural gas service address.

The Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) certified ratings will be used to verify actual AFUE ratings for heating purposes. Check all rebate requirements prior to installation to ensure eligibility.

HRV/ERV for furnaces must provide whole house ventilation, where no HRV previously existed. HRV/ERV performance is based on SRE and CFM ratings at 32°F heating mode as listed in the HVI directory of certified equipment. Learn more about HRV/ERVs.
