Requirements
Water heaters must be natural gas-fueled to be eligible for all rebates. Indirect water heaters are not eligible. When upgrading your water heater, first identify the usage bin level, then the efficiency rating to ensure your model qualifies.
Visit the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) website to verify water heater eligibility.
