Energy-Efficient Natural Gas Furnace
Get up to a $300 Rebate
If the furnace in your home is more than 15 years old, it’s time to consider replacing it. Old furnaces, including forced air, wall, room and floor furnaces, can have energy wasting standing pilot lights. Newer models with electronic ignition systems have an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 94% or higher and can run up to 15% more efficiently than standard models. Not only that, you can get up to a $300 rebate on the purchase and installation of a qualified furnace.
New Furnaces Cost Less
- Save up to $1,615 over the product’s estimated 18 year lifetime*
- Save up to 66 therms per year*
- Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions
*Savings based on installation of a more efficient furnace (94% AFUE) to replace a less efficient unit (70% AFUE) of the same size.
How to Get Your Rebate
