Improve efficiency while reducing project costs.

VGS offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency commercial equipment to help reduce project costs and support energy-efficiency improvements. To help offset rising equipment costs, rebate levels have been increased. The rebate amounts listed below are guaranteed for qualifying equipment installed on or before December 31, 2026, and may be adjusted for installations completed after that date.

Equipment Rebates

VGS offers point-of-purchase rebates for qualifying high-efficiency natural gas equipment. Rather than submitting a rebate application after installation, eligible rebates are applied when participating contractors purchase qualifying equipment from local distributors.

Business owners should confirm with their contractor that all applicable rebates have been reflected in the final project cost.

For boilers greater than 300 MBH, other commercial equipment not listed below, and non point-of-purchase qualifying equipment, please contact our Commercial Energy Services team to discuss available incentives and project-specific opportunities.
