​​​​​​​2025 Rebate Deadline​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​MN Residential Water Heater Rebate

Encourage your customers to replace their existing water heater before it leaks or when they replace their aging heating system.

TIP: Since the federal standards changed for water heater ratings, we’ve seen an increase in non-qualifying models submitted for rebates.

To make sure a customer’s water heater qualifies for a rebate, please confirm the model’s usage bin level, then the UEF rating both match the rebate specifications.

Eligible Tank Water Heaters ​

Getting started 

  • Work with your customers to determine the best natural gas water heater for their home that qualifies for a rebate. 
  • Install the natural gas water heater between January 1-December 31, 2025. 
  • This rebate offer is only available for MINNESOTA residential heating customers who receive natural gas service from CenterPoint Energy.

​After installation and before you complete a rebate application 

Step 1: Collect the information for rebate processing

  • Rebate check information 
    • Verify the rebate recipient name, rebate mailing address, city, state and ZIP code. 
  • Purchaser email address
    • Ask the person who is receiving the rebate if they would like to receive system generated notifications about the status of their rebate. If so, have it ready to enter in the purchaser email address field. 
  • Confirm that the invoice includes the required information: 
    • The details of the water heater that was purchased, including the brand and complete model number and the dealer information. The invoice must match the information on the application. A proposal or estimate are not acceptable forms for proof of purchase. Additional information may be requested from CenterPoint Energy.
