Our Commercial Energy Services team can help analyze your business’s operations and energy usage to identify opportunities to reduce your energy costs for space heating, hot water systems, process equipment, and building envelope. In addition, VGS provides rebates for installing energy-efficient equipment.

Commercial Equipment Rebates
With the rising prices of efficient equipment, we’ve increased our rebate levels for the upcoming year. Please note these rebate amounts are guaranteed for equipment installed by 12/31/2025 and subject to change in 2026.
VGS has moved to a point-of-purchase “instant rebate” for efficient natural gas equipment. Instead of having to complete a form to request a rebate after equipment is installed, these amounts have already been applied to the price when your contractor purchases from a local distributor. We encourage all business owners to confirm with their contractor that the rebate was applied to the final cost.
For boilers >300 MBH and other efficient commercial equipment not listed in the table below, please call (802) 951-0321 or email Efficiency@vermontgas.com to work with a member of our team on your project.
