Encourage your customers to replace their existing water heater before it leaks.
TIP: Since the water heater ratings changed, 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.
