Administered by Peoples Gas

AI summary · 7/12/2026

This rebate program is not designed for homeowners; it applies only to commercial, industrial, federal government, and multifamily residential properties. If you own a multifamily building, you may qualify for rebates on equipment like water heaters, furnaces, or boilers when you install high-efficiency models and remove the old units—contact Peoples Gas directly to confirm eligibility and get an application.

You can help your commercial and industrial clients access prescriptive rebates for equipment like steam traps, boiler controls, demand-controlled ventilation, commercial kitchen equipment, and insulation upgrades; rebates are available for qualifying products that meet Peoples Gas's energy efficiency specifications listed on their application. For projects outside the prescriptive menu, guide customers to apply for custom incentives with prequalification before purchase, and work with Peoples Gas engineers to document projected energy savings. Become a trade ally with Peoples Gas to streamline access to applications and customer support.

This prescriptive rebate program incentivizes commercial, industrial, multifamily, and federal customers to install high-efficiency equipment in categories including steam systems, HVAC controls, and commercial cooking gear; custom incentives are available for non-standard projects subject to engineer verification and prequalification. Funding and budget details are not specified in the available materials—contact the program administrator for allocation and cost-effectiveness thresholds. The program requires removal of old equipment and confirmation that new units meet listed efficiency specifications before rebate payment.

Program summary

Commercial and industrial customers can get prescriptive rebates when they install qualifying steam traps, pipe, valve and fitting insulation, boiler reset controls, demand-controlled ventilation, commercial kitchen equipment and other energy-saving items. New equipment must be installed and old equipment removed. Only new products that meet the energy efficiency specifications listed on the application qualify. Complete terms and conditions can be found on the application form.

If customers are interested in energy efficiency upgrades not covered by the prescriptive rebate offering, they can apply for custom incentives. Energy advisors and engineers will work with the customer and/or customer's designated equipment vendors to calculate potential energy savings for proposed projects. Financial incentives will be offered for individual projects based on projected energy savings. Customers must be prequalified before equipment is purchased and projects begin.
