Installing energy-efficient heaters, furnaces and thermostats is a smart way to lower your energy bills. Qualifying high-efficiency, natural gas-fueled space heating equipment installed in new construction, additions or replacement and retrofit projects are eligible for rebates, unless noted.

Requirements
Thermostat must control natural gas-fueled heating systems. Electronic programmable setback thermostat is not eligible for rebate on new construction buildings. Advanced thermostat must feature integrated occupancy-sensing capabilities (such as motion sensors or geofencing) without additional devices. Thermostat must learn occupancy and automatically improve programming schedule using advanced analytics. To qualify for the advanced thermostat rebate, complete model number must be provided.
ERV and CO2 demand control ventilation sensors are eligible when installed as part of a natural gas-fired system. CO2 demand control ventilation sensors installed as required by code, do not qualify for rebates.
If ERV system has Outside Air Flow of at least 2,000 CFM (if not required by code) or 4,000 CFM (if required by code), consider applying to the Custom program. Contact us for more information.
If an ERV is included in a Tier 2 RTU receiving a rebate, customer cannot receive an additional ERV rebate for the same unit.
