Northern Virginia homeowners and residential communities have two savings opportunities worth checking this week. Washington Gas has launched a limited-time $100 rebate on qualifying Rinnai tankless water heaters, while Alexandria's Plug In Alexandria EV-charging grants for multi-unit communities accept applications on a rolling basis, with cutoffs on the last day of each odd-numbered month.

Key details

  • Washington Gas customers can receive $100 on listed qualifying Rinnai tankless water heaters.

  • Purchase must occur September 1–December 31, 2026.

  • Installation must be completed by January 15, 2027.

  • Rebate claims are due February 15, 2027.

  • Alexandria multi-unit residential communities can receive up to $10,000 toward eligible EV-charger installation costs.

  • Eligible Alexandria properties in qualifying low-income-community census tracts can receive up to $15,000.

  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed about every 8 weeks as funding allows. To be considered in a round, submit by the last day of an odd-numbered month (Nov. 30, Jan. 31, March 31 and so on). Individual single-family homeowners are not eligible.

Why this matters

The Washington Gas offer is particularly relevant to homeowners already planning a water-heater replacement: it is a newly available incentive with a relatively short purchase window. Alexandria's program involves substantially more money, but serves a narrower group and reviews applications in rounds about every two months.

Home Savings Radar takeaway

Don't replace working equipment solely to collect a $100 rebate. But Washington Gas customers already considering a qualifying tankless water heater should add the incentive to their comparison. Alexandria condo, apartment and other multi-unit communities considering EV charging should review Plug In Alexandria and aim for the next odd-month cutoff.

Eligibility, funding and product requirements can change. Verify eligibility directly with the program administrator before purchasing equipment, signing a contract or relying on an incentive amount.
