Boiler and Bolier System Component Rebates (Minnesota)

If your facility has a boiler system, it's doing a lot of work. Our boiler system component rebates help you make sure your facility can operate that system as efficiently as possible.

Qualifying equipment

Low-pressure steam boilers	≥ 84%	$400/100,000 Btuh input + <360,000 Btuh input [$100/100,000 Btuh input x (New efficiency rating - 84)]
Low-pressure steam boilers	≥ 84%	$1,300/MMBtuh input + ≥360,000 Btuh input [$200/MMBtuh input x (New efficiency rating - 84)]
High-pressure steam boilers	≥ 83%	$400/100,000 Btuh input + <360,000 Btuh input [$100/100,000 Btuh input x (New efficiency rating - 83)]
High-pressure steam boilers	≥ 83%	$1,000/MMBtuh input + >360,000 Btuh input [$200/MMBtuh input x (New efficiency rating - 83)]
Commercial Boiler Turbulator	35% of equipment & installating costs; $750/boiler cap
Fully Modulating Boiler Burner	$450 per MMBtu; not to exceed 25% of equipment & installation costs
Stack Damper	$250 per MMBtu boiler input; not to exceed 35% of equipment & installation costs
Boiler Reset Control	Up to $150/control system; not to exceed equipment cost
Boiler Cut-out Control	Up to $150/control system; not to exceed equipment cost

**Boiler efficiency rating to represent the designed/installed operating efficiency of the boiler for the application (i.e. based on designed return water temperature, average input level, steam pressure, etc.).

Boiler System Rebate Amounts & Sample Calculations

Example: Hot water boiler
2,000,000 Btu/hr. input
87% designed efficiency
(87-85) = 2 X $200 = $400 + $1,700 = $2,100 x 2,000,000 / 1,000,000

Rebate Amount = $4,200

Example: Low pressure steam boiler
400,000 Btu/hr. input
86% designed efficiency
(86-84) = 2 X $200 = $400 + $1,300 = $1,700 x 400,000 / 1,000,000

Rebate Amount = $680

Example: High pressure steam boiler
1,0000,000 Btu/hr. input
83% designed efficiency
(83-83) = 0 X $200 = $0 + $1,000 = $1,000 x 1,000,000 / 1,000,000

Rebate Amount = $1,000

Program basics

Program is valid Jan. 1, 2012 through Dec. 31, 2012.
Rebate must be applied for during the calendar year in which the equipment is installed.
Equipment must be installed at a location heated with natural gas from CenterPoint Energy in Minnesota.
