If your Northern Virginia home uses Washington Gas, there are several rebates worth checking before replacing heating equipment or making certain energy-efficiency upgrades.
Washington Gas currently offers Virginia residential customers rebates on a range of qualifying equipment.
Current incentives include:
• Up to $700 for qualifying furnaces
• Up to $750 for qualifying boilers
• Up to $800 for qualifying combination home-and-water-heating systems
• Up to $2,000 for certain dual-fuel heat-pump installations
• $100 for qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostats
• $100 for eligible furnace or boiler tune-ups
• Up to $400 for qualifying water heaters
There is also a limited-time water-heating offer currently available on certain qualifying tankless systems.
Before purchasing equipment, check the program requirements carefully. Some rebates require installation by a participating contractor, specific equipment efficiency levels, or documentation submitted within a certain period.
Why this matters:
A homeowner replacing an HVAC system or water heater could easily overlook several hundred dollars in available rebates simply by purchasing the wrong model or using a contractor who does not participate in the program.
Home Savings Radar takeaway:
If you use Washington Gas and are considering heating, water-heating, or thermostat upgrades, check the available incentives before signing a contract or purchasing equipment.
Program availability, funding, deadlines, and eligibility can change. Always confirm current requirements directly with Washington Gas before making a purchase.
