Needing to replace an old gas furnace or hot water tank? SaskEnergy customers have the opportunity within the next four months to get cashback when they replace existing natural gas equipment in their homes with eligible high-efficiency models.
Safe, reliable and affordable natural gas is delivered to homes, businesses and industry throughout Saskatchewan. SaskEnergy provides critical energy for a greener province and is committed to reducing operation emissions by 35% by 2030.
“The Residential Equipment Replacement Rebate program is part of their commitment to a greener Saskatchewan, helping customers lower their energy costs while reducing their greenhouse gas emissions,” said Kevin Adair, who leads their Customer Service Operations.
The Residential Equipment Replacement Rebate program, ending on June 30, 2022, encourages homeowners to choose the most energy-efficient equipment available.
“Replacing your old natural gas equipment with new, high-efficiency models will lower your energy use, make your home more comfortable and save you money,” said Adair.
Replacing existing equipment can bring rebates up to $2,000 per home for an eligible boiler replacement or $1,000 for an eligible tankless water heater. Furnace replacement rebates for eligible 97% efficiency models are up to $650 and $325 on eligible 96% efficiency models.
$250.00 rebates are also available on eligible high-efficiency tank water heaters or $800.00 on combi-boilers that replace existing equipment. And a rebate of $100 is available for the installation of a heat recovery ventilator in an existing home. New builds are not eligible for the ventilator rebate.
Rebates are available exclusively through participating SaskEnergy Network Members for eligible homes located in Saskatchewan. The rebate from SaskEnergy should arrive by mail in six to eight weeks.
“Getting the money back is easy,” Adair said. “Contact a participating SaskEnergy Network Member and they will help you determine eligible equipment options for your home. Once the new equipment is installed, your SaskEnergy Network Member will complete and submit the rebate application on your behalf.”
SaskEnergy offers a wide range of options to help consumers save money and make homes and businesses more energy-efficient from equalized payment plans to upgrading to Energy Star certified equipment.
