How the Program Works

  1. Work with your customers to determine the best heating system for their home that qualifies for a rebate. Install the furnace or boiler between Jan. 1 - ​​Dec. 31 and submit the rebate application by Dec. 31.
  2. Complete an online rebate application for y​our customers and builders. First, please review the Terms & Conditions​, then access the online rebate application​. If you are submitting a rebate for a combination unit, please use our Water Heater Rebate - Online Application.

    Customers will receive their rebate faster if you submit the rebate through the dealer-only rebate processing system. If you are not able to access the online rebate processing system, you may order paper rebate forms here.
